Forex: USD/JPY retreats and hovers near 80.50

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - After rising toward a 2-day high of 80.92 on risk appetite following the NFP report, USD/JPY has retraced part of the initial spike and is consolidating around 80.50.

According to Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXstreet.com, "Despite recent spike, 4 hours chart shows price still contained below a bearish 20 SMA yet indicators had erased past days bearish tone and are now aiming higher, helping keep the downside limited. A recovery, as long as above 80.00 should then be expected for this end of the week."

With USD/JPY currently at 80.55, Bednarik sees next support levels at 80.40, 80.10 and 79.80, while she locates next resistance levels at 80.90, 81.15 and then 81.40.
