USD/JPY chart - Trading View 

USD/JPY has pared most of disappointing NFP-led losses, trades 0.42% higher on the day at 108.60 at 04:25 GMT.

US dollar remains bid at the beginning of the week on upbeat sentiment amid US-Mexican progress.

Markets largely ignore Japan's Final Q1 GDP which arrived at 0.6% q/q (preliminary was 0.5%).

Major trend in the pair is bearish. But we see scope for further upside before bearish resumption.

5-DMA and RSI have turned and a 'Bullish Divergence' on RSI and Stochs keeps scope for upside.

Upside momentum could continue upto 109.20/25 (nearly converged 20-DMA and 21-EMA).

Further upside only on decisive break above. 61.8% Fib at 107.61 is major support. Break below will see resumption of weakness.

Looking ahead this week, the US CPI data will be key following the disappointing Nonfarm Payrolls data.
