USD/JPY’s pull back from 111.82 was contained by 55 day EMA last week. Rise from 109.71 then resumed by surging through 111.82 to as high as 112.09. Initial bias remains on the upside for 112.13 resistance first. Break will resume whole rise from 104.69 for100 % projection of 109.71 to 111.82 and 110.84 at 112.95 first.

Up trend from 75.56 is expected to resume at a later stage for above 135.20/147.68 resistance zone.
