Current trend
The USD/JPY pair is moving within a long-term upward channel. Last week, the price tested its lower border around 138.40 but could not consolidate below it and resumed growth.
Currently, the quotes are testing 143.75 (Murrey level [8/8]), which breakout allows them to reach 145.31 (Murrey level [ 1/8]) and 146.87 (Murrey level [ 2/8]) and 148.50 (the upper limit of the ascending channel). The key “bearish” level is 140.62 (Murrey level [6/8]), supported by the middle line of Bollinger bands. After its breakdown, the decline may continue to 137.50 (Murrey level [4/8], Fibonacci correction 50.0%) and 135.93 (Murrey level [3/8], Fibonacci retracement 61.8%).
Technical indicators do not give a single signal: Bollinger bands are directed downwards, Stochastic has reached the overbought zone and may reverse downwards but the MACD histogram is increasing in the positive zone.
