USD/JPY:

On the H4 chart, price has confirmed a bullish momentum breaking the previous high. We are bullish bias- Price has tested the first resistance at 138.870 where the previous swing high and 161.8% extension sits. If bullish momentum continues, it will bring price to 139.390 where the previous swing high sits. Alternatively, if price reverse, it might pull back to test the first support at 136.490 where the 23.6% fibonacci retracement sits then subsequently the second support at 135.398 where the 38.2% retracement sits

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 138.870
