“USD/JPY has seen a sizeable rally from last week's low at 108.55, our stance is positive, while above here.”

“We are testing the 109.96 April 9 high, and this is the barrier to the 110.97 March high and the 111.13/38 October 2018 low and mid-February 2019 high.” 

“Below 108.55 will alleviate immediate upside pressure for a slide back to the 107.48 April low.” 

“Our medium-term target is 112.23/50, which represents the April 2019 high, the 2020 high and a long term Fibonacci retracement.”
