  • USD/JPY trades in a narrow range, bias is higher. The pair made a high of 114.07 and a low of 113.85.
     
  • Rising expectations of Fed tightening at March meeting likely to keep upside bias intact.
     
  • The pair is currently holding a break above major trendline resistance and we see weakness only on break below.
     
  • Upside is struggling to break above 50-DMA for a fourth consecutive session. However, bullish RSI divergence raises scope for upside.
     
  • Break above 50-DMA currently at 114.15 could see further gains.
