The USD/JPY currency pair has formed a zig-zag close to the PP point support after spiking from an emerging inverted head and shoulders pattern. The market is waiting for the NFP data along with the Average Hourly Earnings and Unemployment rate. NFP is very important for the USD, as job creation is a leading indicator of consumer spending, which accounts for a majority of overall economic activity.

Technically, the USD/JPY currency pair formed a zig-zag pattern that is bullish in its shape, and the rejections from the 113.60-90 POC zone might push the pair towards 114.50, and eventually 114.95 and 115.40. A close below 113.50 will probably fuel the bears with enough momentum to push towards 112.60. During the NFP release, significant volatility should be expected. Always pay attention to price action before you start making new entries. Consolidation usually precedes breakouts.
