The USD/JPY awaits tomorrow’s jobs report

The Dollar has been strengthening during the whole week, supported by the strong fundamentals out of the US. It seems like the Greenback is taking a breather today, but we must keep in mind that tomorrow we have the Non-Farm Payrolls report, which is expected to show that the US economy has created 230 thousand new jobs during the month of July.

If the reading comes out in line or better than expected, then we may see the USD/JPY try to break above the 103.00 level where it has stall its rally for now, as shown on the daily chart below. Today´s daily candlestick has formed as a Doji and this is an indication that the pair is very undecided at the moment. This is most probably due to the fact that the markets usually go into a quiet mode before the NFP report.
