"Dollar-yen is looking solid. The pair has broken out of the triangle pattern, so if we see a bottom form around the 102 level, it could extend a little higher. The break above the key resistance at 103 yen, near the highs in May, late July and early August, would be a buy signal."

Pair's Outlook

Though the daily technical indicators are no longer bullish like the monthly studies, but are rather mixed, the U.S. Dollar keeps gaining ground against the Yen. The 200-day SMA at 102.40 seems to be already out of the way, meaning we could soon see a re-test of the July highs. Should this resistance at 103 be broken, the next target will be the monthly R1 level at 103.50, followed by the 2014 Q2 high at 104.

Traders' Sentiment

The portion of bulls in the market stays above 70%, meaning the sentiment is strongly bullish towards USD/JPY and traders expect the Buck to appreciate. There are also significantly more buy orders (61%) than the sell ones (39%).
