Mid-Day Report: Dollar Buoyed by Solid NFP Number, Unemployment Dropped to 8.8%

Dollar strengthens in early US session after better than expected job market data. Non-farm payroll shows larger than expected expansion by 216k in March while February's figure was revised slightly higher to 194k. Private payroll growth was at 230k in March, on top of 240k in February. It's the first back-to-back above 200k readings since 2006. In addition, unemployment rate dropped from 8.9% to 8.8%, hitting a two year low.

USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 82.71; (P) 82.97; (R1) 83.37; More.

USD/JPY's rally extends further in early US session and intraday bias remains on the upside for 84.49 key resistance. Break will indicate medium term reversal and should target 61.8% retracement of 94.97 to 76.40 at 87.87 next. On the downside, below 83.19 minor support will turn bias neutral and bring consolidations. But downside should be contained above 80.50 support and bring another rise.

Trade Idea: EUR/JPY – Buy at 116.75

As the single currency has continued to move higher after the breach of 116.00 resistance earlier this week, we are keeping our mildly bullish count that the wave ii is still unfolding as ABC-X-ABC and 2nd A leg already exceeded our indicated upside target at 118.36 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 139.26 to 105.44) and further gain towards 119.00 is likely, however, reckon 120.00 would hold on from here.
