European major index are all in red at the time of writing while US stocks are set to gap open lower. Japan Prime Minister Kan warned of further radiation leaks and urged people within 30 kilometers of the plant to stay indoors. It's reported that radiation level in Tokyo surged to 23 times normal.

USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 80.65; (P) 81.56; (R1) 82.52; More.

USD/JPY's strong break of 81.20 support indicates that whole fall from 83.28 has resumed. Also, the break of 80.93 support serves as the first alert that sideway consolidation pattern from 80.29 has completed. Intraday bias is back on the downside and deeper fall should be seen through 80.29 to key long term low at 79.75 next. On the upside, above 81.20 will turn bias neutral but we'd stay bearish as long as 83.28 resistance holds.

The Fed funds rate will stay at 0-0.25% while the asset-buying program will remain to be 600B with expiry in June. Policymakers will, however, deliver a more upbeat meeting statement acknowledging recent developments. There will be discussions on the MENA tensions as well as Japan's earthquake.
