On the 1 hour chart the downward channel is making renewal attempts, while on the 3 hour chart new downward channel has formed. Break above Friday's top and nearest resistance 80.40 would encourage further recovery of the Dollar. Immediate support is today's bottom at 79.63, and consistent break bellow it could strengthen the Yen further down towards next target 78.76.

There are no major economic events for Japan today.
