  • RES 2: 159.23 High Jan 23
  • RES 1: 158.90 Intraday high

The current bull cycle in USDJPY remains intact and today’s bullish start to the week reinforces current conditions. Price remains above the 50-day EMA that was recently breached. That break highlights a stronger reversal. Note too that resistance at 157.76, the Feb 9 high, has been cleared. The clear breach of this level opens 159.45, the Jan 14 high and a key hurdle for bulls. Initial firm support lies at 155.78, the 50-day EMA.
