USD/JPY Analysis
The bullish trend line is still holding, with yesterday seeing another upwards thrust off the line that reached all the way to 105.25 before pulling back. It looked as if we were getting another bounce up off the trend line a few hours ago during the Asian session, and the price did rise above the 105.00 level again, but so far it does not seem to have much momentum ahead of the New York session.
The resistance above at 105.51 looks strong.
