- Clearance Of Key Hurdles Casts Spotlight Higher

USD/JPY’s rocket through several technical barriers amid a void of bearish candlesticks suggests the potential for further gains. The next definitive peak to define potential resistance rests at 114.60, the December 2007 high. This suggests significant scope for a continued advance. A daily close below the 110.00 barrier would be required to negate a bullish bias.
