Technical Outlook and Review

USD/JPY:

On the H4 chart, price is still respecting the ascending momentum. We are still bullish bias- Price is testing above the previous low and if bullish momentum continues, it should bring price to first resistance at 144.918 where the 161.8% extension sits. If it breaks this level, it should bring price to 147.332 where the previous swing high sits. Alternatively it could pull back to the first support at 141.652 where the 23.6% retracement and 100% projection sits then to the second support at 139.518 where the 38.2% retracement and overlapping support sits.
