USD/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The USD/JPY uptrend continues, yet it's facing stir resistance at the May 14 high of 156.76. In the event that buyers reclaim the latter, the 157.00 mark would surface as the next supply area. Further gains lie overhead, with April 26 seen as the next resistance at 158.44, before challenging the year-to-date (YTD) high of 160.32.
Conversely, if the pair drops below the Tenkan-Sen at 156.05, that will expose the Senkou Span A at 155.61, followed by the Kijun-Sen at 155.18.
