USD/JPY pierces 97.30, targets 97.50 next

Yen follows Nikkei's tail
The catalyst for the rise in the pair came from the Nikkei 225, which rebounded with vigor moving from below 2% for the day to now trade at -1.4%. No headlines were reported for the latest take off on the index.
Next resistance 97.50
On the way up, USD/JPY faces now 97.45-50 zone, which converges with the 50% fib from 95.81-99.15. A break higher may see the recovery extend towards 97.65/70 - Aug 27 swing low - where more offers are expected.
