FX.co ★ Technical analysis of USD/JPY for March 30, 2017

USD/JPY is expected to trade with bullish outlook. The pair broke above its 20-period and 50-period moving averages and is holding on the upside. The relative strength index stands firmly above its neutrality level at 50 and lacks downward momentum. Additionally, 110.75 is playing a key support role, which should limit the downside potential.

As long as this key level is not broken, look for a further upside toward 111.50 and even 111.85 in extension.

The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. Therefore, long positions are recommended with the first target at 111.50 and the second one at 111.85. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 110.50 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target may push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 110.15. The pivot point is at 110.75.

Resistance levels: 111.50, 111.85, and 112.15

Support levels: 110.50, 110.15, and 109.75
