Following the BOJ intervention early Friday morning, the pair over corrected itself as the market saw a good opportunity to sell; the pair then traded down to 84.110. Following the move, the pair has tested the 84.110 low twice and has traded inside of a 30 point range for the past 24 hours. Resistance is being shown at the 84.410 level, which is the 23.6 fibo line on the move from the high of 85.380 to the low of 84.110 on the 24th. Adding to that resistance is the 100 hour moving average which comes in at 84.416.
