USD/JPY analysis

The pair is consolidating below 101.00 level, but downward potential still remains.
 
The dollar lost gains against the other major currencies on Wednesday after the release of positive data on orders for durable goods in the US, while the markets are still focused on the long-awaited meeting of key oil producers.
USD/JPY rose by 0.17% to 100.58.
 
Dollar/yen had a bullish momentum earlier today in Asian session, hitting 101.63. The upwards scenario of double bottom is now confirmed with targets near 102.00/20. The outlook is bullish in nearest term. Initial support is at 100.80 whose breakthrough could lead price to neutral zone with re-testing 100.10 key support. In long-term the main downward scenario remains.
 
During today's Asian trade, the US dollar is stable against the euro while the yen depreciates sharply against nearly all currencies - as the investors returned to risk appetite and invest in higher-yielding assets, writes MarketWatch.
The dollar against the yen jumped by 1% - from 100.69 to 101.63 yen.
Euro rose against the Japanese national currency by 1% - to 112.94 yen to 114.08 yen.
Weaker yen is due to the approaching end of the quarter and the increased activity of Japanese companies in the foreign exchange market before the closure of accountancy.
 
The US dollar recorded a modest rise against the yen on Wednesday. The pair added 27 pips at a closing price of 100.68. Daily extreme points were reached respectively at 100.25 and 100.81. Given the growing positive attitude, successfully overcoming the corresponding peak, followed by 101.20, will witness a new increase of USD/JPY.

I overlooked the inclusion of 4-hour charts in my analyses yesterday, which is why my tables had an extra row at the bottom. So what did they say?

According to my 4-hour USDJPY chart, though my daily chart said USDJPY just turned slightly bullish yesterday, my 4-hour chart says its now neutral, so I might consider buying it under 103.24 or selling it above 104.69.
