USDJPY bulls remain in the driver’s seat and the pair is trading just below its recent cycle high. The break higher last week confirmed a resumption of the primary uptrend and maintains the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. The trend is overbought, however, this is not - for now - a concern for bulls. Moving average studies are in a bull mode position too. Sights are on the 155.00 handle next. Support lies at 152.33, 20-day EMA.
