USDJPY remains in an uptrend. Last week’s important technical break was the breach of resistance at 118.60/66, the Jan 3 ‘17 and Dec 15 ‘16 highs. This reinforced bullish conditions and the pair is approaching the psychological 120.00 handle. Initial support is at 118.18. Note too that the USD is also approaching the top of a bull channel, at 119.90, drawn from the Jun 1 2021 high - an important chart point and resistance.
