  • Our call (http://www.econotimes.com/FxWirePro-USD-JPY-holds-above-5-DMA-stay-long-209028) has hit all targets.
     
  • The pair finds stiff resistance at the 110.50-60 zone, which is a combination of 55-EMA (110.51), major trendline (110.50) and cloud base (110.57).
     
  • Upside pressure on the yen remains on the back of upbeat Japanese Q1 GDP which took immediate pressure off the BOJ to add stimulus.
