USD/JPY has picked up a bid, possibly tracking the rise in the US yields and the S&P 500 future. A break above 106.86 is needed to confirm an inverse head-and-shoulders breakout. USD/JPY is better bid at press time, possibly due to an uptick in the futures on the S&P 500 index and Treasury yields. The pair is currently trading at 106.47, up more than 20 pips from the low of 106.22 seen in the early Asian trading hours. The S&P 500 futures are currently reporting 0.24% gains. The index fell 0.79 percent on Tuesday, snapping a three-day winning streak. Meanwhile, the US 10-year Treasury yield is trading at 1.574%, representing a two basis point gain on the day. Looking forward, the pair may extend gains if the S&P 500 futures remain in the green, weakening demand for the anti-risk JPY. The technical outlook, however, will turn bullish if the pair rises above 106.86, confirming an inverse head-and-shoulders breakout on the 4-hour chart. The breakout, if confirmed, would open the doors for 108.67. The daily chart is reporting a bullish divergence of the relative strength index, so the pair could confirm breakout with a move above 106.86. 4-hour chart Trend: Bullish above 106.86 Pivot points FX Street FX Street FXStreet is the leading independent portal dedicated to the Foreign Exchange (Forex) market.
