The USD/JPY extended its gains sharply during Wednesday in the North American session, sponsored by the close positive correlation with the US 10-year T-note yield, while traders remain concerned about US elections. At the time of writing, the pair exchanges hands at 152.60, up by more than 1%.
The USD/JPY rose above the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo) and the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), turning bullish for the first time since early August 2024.
Momentum clearly indicates that buyers are in charge, and targeting the 160.00 figure, once they cleared key technical levels. In addition, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) cleared the latest peak, meaning that further USD/JPY upside is seen.
The USD/JPY first resistance would be the 153.19 October 23 daily high, followed by the 154.00 mark. On further strength, the USD/JPY could challenge the July 30 peak at 155.21, before etending its gains to July 19 peak at 157.86.
For a bearish scenario, sellers must clear the 200-day SMA at 151.38, before pushing the exchange rate below the Tenkan-Sen at 150.79, and inside the Kumo at 150.70.
