USD/JPY hourly chart analysis

A potential surge would have to break the 150.65/150.90 range, before testing the resistance of the 151.00 level. Higher above, the 151.50 level could act as resistance.

On the other hand, a decline of the USD/JPY has to pass the 149.90 and 149.50 levels, before it approaches the 149.00 mark.
