Technical analysis of USD/JPY for May 16, 2018

All our upside targets which we predicted in our previous analysis have been hit. The pair keeps trading on the upside targeting the overhead resistance at 110.45 (around the high of yesterday, May 15). Intraday bullishness is maintained by those well-directed technical indicators, including the 20-period, 50-period moving averages and the relative strength index. Upon crossing 110.45, the next upside target at 110.70 would come into sight. The trailing key support has been raised to the psychologically significant level of 109.80, losing which would call for a further decline toward 109.60.
