The Yen declined against the USD at yesterday's session. The prices made an upside breakout in a 5-week trading range. The prices closed above the larger symmetric triangle with an inner ascending triangle. We still recommend buying from 177.70 with the upside target at 120.50. At yesterday's session, the pair made a high exactly at 120.50. Today, traders will be focused on US retails sales and Unemployment claims. The positive reading will push the pair to make a new high. The pair has the nearest resistance at 120.80. Bulls can challenge towards the previous high. Above it, 124.00 and 124.50 are ultimate targets.
