USD/JPY Price Analysis: Bulls testing the 200 DMA on the front side of bull trend

  • USD/JPY bulls committing to the price on the front side of the micro bull trend. 
  • Bulls eye a break of the 200 DMA. 

USD/JPY remains on the front side of the bull trend with the US Dollar still perched near a three-month high on Thursday. Traders have repriced a more aggressive pace of interest rate hikes in the wake of Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell's comments. Fed funds futures are now implying a 70% chance the Fed will raise rates by 50 basis points this month. This is up from just about 9% a month ago and favouring USD/JPY bulls as the following illustrates:
