What can we expect from USDJPY today?

USDJPY on Thursday rose 0.18% to 157.10. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising.

Updated daily direction for USDJPY looks bullish as the pair ended higher after Thursday trading session.

Looking ahead for the day, immediate upside resistance level is R1 at 157.42 with break above could target R2 at 157.73. While towards the downside, we are looking at daily low of 156.57 as an important support. Break below this level could weaken the current bullish momentum. A break above 157.31 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.

For the week to-date, take note that USDJPY is mixed as compared to prior week.
