The major is extending sideways grind for the fourth straight session, hovers around 5-DMA.

A pickup in the US Treasury bond yields, bolstered by faster Fed rate hikes bets, acts as a tailwind for the greenback.

R1: 145

R2: 145.72 (Upper BB)

Summary: USD/JPY shows signs of some pullback. Bearish RSI divergence and shrinking volatility raise scope for some downside. Major trend remains bullish.
