The USDJPY bull cycle remains in play and this week’s extension reinforces current conditions. 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 151.84, 20-day EMA.
