FxWirePro: USD/JPY tests 200-Hour SMA at 111.51, good to go long on break above

USD/JPY chart - Trading View 

  • USD/JPY hovers around 200-DMA at 111.41, decisive break above to see further upside.
     
  • The pair is trading 0.37% higher on the day at 111.55 at 0420 GMT, bias bullish.
     
  • The 10-year UST yield continues to recover from over 3-month lows below 2.6 percent hit earlier this week, supporting the USD.
     
  • Technical studies on intraday charts are turning slightly bullish. 
     
  • Price action is probing 200-hour SMA resistance at 111.51, breakout could see further gains.
     
  • RSI is above 50 and Stochs are at oversold levels which keep scope for reversal into neutral.
     
  • 55-EMA is strong support at 110.83. Rejection at 200-DMA and retrace below 55-EMA will see weakness.

Support levels - 110.83 (55-EMA), 110 (trendline), 109.60 (50% Fib)

Resistance levels - 112, 112.13 (Mar 5 high), 112.25 (200-W SMA)

Recommendation: Stay long on decisive break above 200-Hour SMA at 111.51, SL: 110.80, TP: 112/ 112.25.
