USD/JPY Price Forecast: Rallies past 144.00 boosted by high US yields

• USD/JPY climbs over 0.90% to 144.54, buoyed by a rise in the US 10-year Treasury yield.
• Despite the uptick, the pair shows a downward trend, remaining below the Ichimoku Cloud and 200-DMA.
• RSI crosses above the neutral line, suggesting potential for continued gains in the short term.
• Key resistance at 145.00, with subsequent levels at 146.73 (50-DMA) and 147.00.
• A fall below 144.00 could find support at 143.39 (Kijun-Sen), 142.76 (Senkou Span A), and 142.13 (Tenkan-Sen).

The USD/JPY edges up during the North American session, registering gains of over 0.90% as the US Dollar stages a comeback. The rise in the US 10-year T-note yield sponsored a leg-up in the pair, which trades at 144.54 at the time of writing.

USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

Despite rallying during the session, the USD/JPY remains downward biased, as the exchange rate persists below the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo) and the 200-day moving average (DMA).

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has just pierced its neutral line, opening the door for further upside in the near term.

With that said, the USD/JPY next resistance would be the 145.00 psychological figure ahead of testing the 50-DMA at 146.73. On further strength, the pair could hit the 147.00 figure.

Conversely, if USD/JPY tumbles below 144.00, this could pave the way to challenge the Kijun-Sen at 143.39, followed by the Senkou Span A at 142.76 and the Tenkan Sen at 142.13.
