Trade idea: Buy USDJPY as dollar drops on budget standoff

Ian Coleman from First 4 Trading is looking to buy USDJPY as the ongoing fiscal standoff in the US has pushed the dollar to a two-month low against the yen.

On Monday a few hopeful signs of a breakthrough emerged, with President Barack Obama saying he would accept a short-term increase in the nation's borrowing authority to avoid a default.

On a technical level, Ian says the daily ABCD formation has been completed at 96.80.

He is therefore looking to buy one unit at market and says that if we see a dip lower he will buy at 96.90.

Ian is looking to place a stop at 96.70 and his targets are 97.47 and 97.80.
