Headline: USD/JPY Turns 154.47 Into Support as Bulls Retain Control
Introduction: The dollar–yen pair extended its advance in Asia, breaking through a well-watched cap and confirming a bullish shift in the short-term trend.
After pushing above 154.47—a ceiling that constrained gains since late October—USD/JPY pulled back twice, including during North American trade. Both dips found buyers near the former resistance, reinforcing 154.47 as a fresh support zone and highlighting firm demand on retests. As long as price action holds above this pivot, intraday momentum favors the upside in the forex market.
Below that, the more conservative risk marker sits around 153.93, where the 100-hour and 200-hour moving averages converge. A decisive move under 154.47 would be the first sign of fading bullish pressure and could spark a rotation toward the MA cluster, where buyers may attempt to reassert control. Until then, the technical bias remains constructive for further dollar–yen gains.
Key Points: – USD/JPY broke above 154.47 in Asian trade, flipping resistance into support – Two intraday pullbacks held near 154.47, confirming buyer commitment – Bullish bias is favored while price remains above the 154.47 pivot – Secondary support and conservative risk level: 153.93 (100/200-hour moving averages) – A drop below 154.47 would weaken momentum and target the MA cluster near 153.93
