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.
