Risk apppetite finally hit the second safe haven currency, and japanese yen is falling fast across the board.

Usd/Jpy is also in a key resistance zone around 96.30 and despite overbought in smaller time frames, no signs of correction yet.Next resistances here will come at 96.60 and 97.10 zone. Clear break above 97.50 (not seen for today) will turn the pair bullish for the next days.

U.S. reports save the day, as most macroeconomic data printed better than expected readings, sending Wall Street quickly up despite early tumble. Risk appetite is up, dollar and yen down (not as far as to affirm things have changed). Richmond Fed’s regional manufacturing index improved in April to -9 from a previous reading of -20, while US consumers’ confidence of the economy rose to its highest point of the year, 39.2 from a previous also revised to the upside, 26.9.

Wall Street reached positive territory, and remains tending higher, dragging DAX also in positive territory, and erasing early losses. Dollar and yen are down against major rivals, and corrective movements have room to continue, if stocks continue supporting risk appetite.

In a very fast movement, majors are falling more than 100 pips against dollar. Probably some profit taking and the due corrections trend needs to continue. Watch the 1.3500 level for Euro, the 95.50 zone for Japanese yen, and the 1.4330/50 zone for Gbp. If broken, longer term stops could be trigger and send dollar further up.
