Uptrend eyes fresh upside projections
"USD/JPY broke out of a brief consolidation earlier this month, extending its upward move. "
"The pair is now challenging the 2024 peak at 162/162.40, which has so far acted as an interim hurdle. However, signals of a large pullback are not yet visible."
"Defence of the recent pivot low at 159.65 could lead to a continuation of the uptrend."
"A break beyond 162/162.40 may open the door to further gains toward the next projections at 163.70 and 164.40."
"Spot sidles below 162-handle, surprisingly strong May retail sales (1.9% m/m vs consensus -0.5%) adds case for further BoJ tightening. Support 160.40, resistance 162.40."
