USD/JPY key levels to watch after powerful rally

148
The USD/JPY has rallied decisively today, aided by the shift in Japanese bond sentiment.

The pair has broken several short-term levels and moving averages. At the time of writing, it was trading bang in the middle of the 144.00 -144.80 resistance area, formerly support. We also have the 21-day exponential moving average residing here.

As things stand, the next key upside target for the USD/JPY is now positioned near the 145 mark. Should price approach or breach it, we might begin to see growing confidence among longer-term bulls.

On the downside, key support is seen around the 142.50 level. Bearish below towards 140.00 next.
