USD/JPY weekly chart, December 12, 2016

The USD/JPY pair rallied again during the week, breaking above the 115.00 level on Friday. The market looks as if it is ready to try to continue going higher, but quite frankly it is overextended by just about any measure of the market. With this, I believe that a pullback is coming, and quite frankly I think we need one desperately. Once we get a nice pullback, I’m willing to buy on signs of support but obviously that has not happened quite yet. I also have no interest whatsoever in selling this pair as I believe the trend has changed.
