As it was expected, a release of positive consumer sentiment data elevated the pair to the 113.70 mark, which represented an approximate location of different moving averages.  

During this trading session the exchange rate most probably is going to climb even higher amid the US labour data release and the subsequent Fed meeting. 

If that is the case, the pair is likely to break through resistance located between the 114.25 and 114.35 marks and try to reach the July 2017 maximum at 114.50. 

Generally, this advance is expected to have limited effect, as two days ago the pair made breakout from a long-term rising wedge formation. From this perspective, the Yen is expected to start slowly recovering against the Dollar in the nearest future.
