If USD/JPY extends its gains past the 148.00 figure, this could exacerbate a test of the Tenkan-Sen at 148.45. Further gains lie overhead at 149.00 before buyers can push the exchange rate toward the 200-day moving average (DMA) at 151.50.
Conversely, if sellers push the exchange rate below the August 6 high of 146.37, that will pave the way for a pullback. The next support will be the 146.00 mark, followed by the 145.00 figure. Further losses lie underneath at the August 6 low of 143.61.
