- Prev Close: 111.10
- % chg. over the last day: +0.56%
The USD/JPY currency pair increased by 0.56% yesterday, mainly due to a stronger dollar index, as the Large Manufacturers Index in Japan improved in the second quarter to a two-and-a-half-year high.

- Resistance levels: 111.09, 111.48
The trend remains bullish. The price is trading above the moving average. The MACD indicator is in the overbought zone, but there is no sign of divergence. Under such market conditions, traders are better to look for buy trades from support levels, but after a slight downward correction. The price has reached resistance levels now, so sell positions can be considered too, but only on intraday timeframes.
Alternative scenario: if the price falls below 109.83, the general downtrend is likely to resume.

Technically, the trend remains bullish. The price is trading above the moving average, and the MACD indicator is in the positive zone, but there are the first signs of divergence. Under such market conditions, it is best to trade on the lower timeframes. Buyers may look for buy trades from support levels. Traders can look for entry points on intraday timeframes for sell positions, but only with short targets because it is trading against the trend.
Alternative scenario: if the price breaks down through the 1.2190 support level and fixes below, the downtrend is likely to be resumed.
