Key Quotes
“USD/JPY is accelerating its climb after breaking above the multi-year descending channel and is likely to head towards the 2007 highs of 120/124, as well as the 76.4% retracement (log scale) from the 2002 highs and a multi-decadal trend line.”
“Indicators are overstretched, but only a break below 114/113 will indicate the possibility of a retracement.”
“Monthly RSI is overstretched, however there are no signs of a reversal. As can be seen in the weekly chart, 124 happens to be the upper limit of an ascending channel since 2012 and is therefore a decisive level for the next leg of the uptrend. Pullback, if any, should be limited to 114/113.”
