FxWirePro: USD/JPY breaks above 50-DMA at 107.05, focus on NFP data for further impetus

  • Markets wary ahead of the March non-farm payrolls release, USD/JPY trades largely unchanged at the time of writing.
     
  • Price action broke past 50-DMA at 107.05 on Thursday's trade and hit 1-month highs at 107.49.
     
  • Yen demand on the rise again in the Asian session today amid global trade concerns.
     
  • The pair hit session lows at 106.99 before retracing above 107 handle.
     
  • Technical studies for the pair are bullishly aligned and bullish divergence on RSI and Stochs keeps scope for upside.
     
  • Upside is currently struggling at daily cloud base at 107.50, break above will test 38.2% Fib at 108.49.
     
  • On the flipside 50-DMA at 107.03 is immediate support, we see some weakness on close below.
