A bullish theme remains intact in USDJPY and this week’s gains reinforce current trend conditions. The move higher has resulted in a breach of the key medium-term resistance at 150.92, the Aug 1 high. The clear break of it confirms a resumption of the bull leg that started Apr 22. This paves the way for an extension towards 154.39, a Fibonacci retracement point. Initial support to watch lies at 150.92, the Aug 1 high.
