Daily Pivots: (S1) 146.58; (P) 147.12; (R1) 147.78; More…
Intraday bias in USD/JPY stays on the upside at this point. Firm break of 147.68 long term resistance will target 149.26 projection level, and possibly to 150 psychological level. Nevertheless, firm break of 145.89 resistance turned support should indicate rejection by 147.68, and bring deeper fall back to 140.33 support instead.
In the bigger picture, up trend from 101.18 is still in progress, as part of the whole up trend from 75.56 (2011 low). Further rise should be seen to 147.68 (1998 high), and possibly to 100% projection of 75.56 (2011 low) to 125.85 (2015 high) from 98.97 at 149.26, For now, break of 130.38 support is needed to be the first indication of medium term topping. Otherwise, outlook will stay bullish even in case of deep pull back.
