USD/JPY hourly chart analysis

In the short term, 148.000 support level is to be tested multiple times. If no level of breach occurs, continuation towards 150.000 might be in play. Further price action above the simple moving averages may be considered a bullish signal. However, the 146.000 resistance zone may be tested.
