USD/JPY Technical Analysis: US Dollar bulls extend the advance past 110.00 handle

  • USD/JPY keeps grinding higher and finds an intraday resistance at 110.22, the daily 200-period simple moving average.
  • A  strong breakout above 110.22 can open the gates to 110.79 May 22 low.  
  • However, as  USD/JPY is rather extended to the upside, it is reasonable to expect pullbacks towards the 110.00 handle and the 109.47 June 5 low before any new significant bull breakout.
  • The bullish activity in US Treasury yields underpins USD/JPY.
