The USD/JPY pair broke resistance which turned to strong support at the level of 104.17 yesterday. The level of 104.17 coincides with 38.2% of Fibonacci, which is expected to act as major support today.
Since the trend is above the 38.2% Fibonacci level, it means the market is still in a uptrend. From this point, the USD/JPY pair is continuing in a bullish trend from the new support of 104.17.

On the H4 chart, resistances are seen at the levels of 105.78, 106.07 and 106.48. Also, it should ne noticed that, the level of 104.78 is representing the daily pivot point.
Hence, the first support will be formed at the level of 104.78 providing a clear signal for buy deals with the targets seen at 105.78. If the trend breaks the resistance at 105.78 (first resistance).
Thereupon, it is possible that the pair will move upwards continuing the development of the bullish trend to the level 106.07 in order to test the daily resistance 2 then reach next objective of 106.48. However, stop-loss is to be placed below the price of 103.19.
