USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Set-up points to an extension of the near-term positive momentum

   “¢   The pair has been trending higher over the past 1-1/2 weeks alongside an ascending trend-line and now seems to have found acceptance above the 112.00 handle.

   “¢   The pair has managed to hold above intraday important moving averages (50, 100 & 200-hour SMAs) and technical indicators on hourly/daily charts maintain a mild positive bias.

   “¢   The set-up support prospects for an extension of the pair’s near-term positive momentum and a move towards July swing high, beyond the 113.00 handle, now looks a distinct possibility.
