the USD/JPY continued to extend its gains, past the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the Kijun-Sen, opening the door to clear 153.00 and the previously mentioned 154.00.
Momentum favors further USD/JPY upside as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which aims higher.
The first resistance would be the November 20 daily high at 155.89. A breach of the latter will expose 156.00, followed by the November 15 swing high of 156.75. Conversely, if USD/JPY tumbles below 154.00, the first support is the Kijun-sen at 152.69, followed by the Senkou Span A at 152.21. if surpassed, the next support would be the confluence of the 50 and 200-day SMAs at 152.10-11
