USD/JPY Price Analysis: Hits three-day high as bulls eye 157.00

  • USD/JPY rises 0.38% after bouncing off a daily low of 155.49.
  • Buyers favored in technical outlook; key resistance at 156.76 with potential to reach 157.99 and YTD high of 160.32.
  • Bearish scenario could see support at 153.61, 153.25, and Ichimoku Cloud top at 151.94.

The US Dollar gains ground against the Japanese Yen (JPY) and climbs 0.38% in an upbeat market mood. US Treasury bond yields advance, particularly the 10-year Treasury note yield, which correlates positively to the USD/JPY pair. Therefore, the pair trades at 156.25 after hitting a daily low of 155.49.

USD/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The USD/JPY daily chart shows the pair remains tilted to the upside, yet it’s far from testing the latest cycle high. Nevertheless, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows momentum favors the buyers, which could open the door for further gains.

For a bullish continuation, the USD/JPY must clear the May 14 high of 156.76. Once done, buyers must surpass the May month-to-date (MTD) high of 157.99. A breach of the latter could expose the year-to-date (YTD) high of 160.32.

Conversely, if bears stepped in and dragged prices below the Senkou Span A at 156.25, that could sponsor a leg-down toward the May 16 low of 153.61. Further losses lie beneath, with the next support seen at the Senkou Span B at 153.25 before sliding toward the top of the Ichimoku Cloud at around 151.94.
