Current trend
After a growth amid publication of strong labour market data from the US, the pair is trading within a narrow range.
The pair remains under pressure from strong NFPR data and Bank of Japan commentaries that represented regulator’s tendency to continue with easy monetary policy. The most likely scenario is the pair’s movement within sideways channel until Friday when Retail Sales data for October is due in the US.
Attention of the markets is now focused on employment and inflation data from the US in November and beginning of December. If data comes out rather negative, the pair can fall.

At the same time, a breakdown of the level of 122.50 would send the pair towards 121.50 (50% correction), 120.60 (61.8% correction, EMA144 on the daily chart).
