What can we expect from USDJPY today?

USDJPY on Wednesday rose 0.04% to 157.95. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising.

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

Looking ahead for the day, immediate upside resistance level is R1 at 158.19 with break above could target R2 at 158.43. While towards the downside, we are looking at daily low of 157.59 as an important support. Break below this level could weaken the current bullish momentum. A break above 158.13 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.

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