USD/JPY bulls eye a move to 150
Updated
Trading conditions have been choppy over the past week and a half for currency traders whilst the US dollar index has remained trapped between its 50 and 20-day EMAs. But USD/JPY shows the most promise for a breakout, which we suspect could be to the upside.
A false break below 147 last week suggests the corrective low could be in, and a 3-day bullish reversal (Morning Star pattern) hints of an upside breakout from its consolidation. The 10-day EMA is also providing support on the daily chart.
From here, we're looking for dips within the bullish pattern and ideally for prices to hold above the 10-day EMA to initiate a long. Whilst prices remain above last week's low, the bias is for a move to the 149.58 - 150 zone.

Trade closed: stop reached
The market finally moved in our direction, but not before invalidating the bias with a break of last week's low.
