Earlier today we pointed out a bullish formation in USDJPY. We noted that a break above 110.30 would initially lead to 111.30 as it did within a few hours. With this move higher the weekly chart shows us an important bullish message, as price has broken above an important trend line resistance.
Green line - support trend line
USDJPY has managed to move above 111 and above the downward sloping trend line coming from 2015. This trend line had lead to the price rejection of more than 4 times and in several cases had lead to a multi-month decline in price. Now price is breaking above it. Price remains in a bullish trend as we continue to see higher highs and higher lows. Staying above this blue trend line is key for the weekly bullish trend. A fake break out would be a very bad sign....so far there is no such sign.
