- USD/JPY has broken consolidation below daily cloud and has broken above.
- The pair has hit fresh 2-month highs at 107.59 and we see scope for further gains.
- Improving risk-appetite weighed on the Japanese Yen's safe-haven appeal, pushing the pair higher.
- Due later in the US session are Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment and JOLTS Job Openings data which could have some influence on price.
- Technical studies are supporting upside, we see scope for further gains.
- RSI is above 50 and biased higher and momentum studies are bullish. A +ve DMI dominance with ADX support adds to bullish bias.
- Next major bull target lies at 38.2% Fib at 108.49. Break above could see test of 100-DMA at 109.28.
- On the flipside, we see weakness below 50-DMA at 106.80.
