Being underpinned by the support at 97, the currency pair was able to commence a strong rally, which later turned into a 140-pip wide upward-sloping channel. According to the four-hour technical indicators, USD/JPY is likely to preserve its bullish momentum in the short run, on the condition that the rising support line at 101.89, which safeguards the bullish outlook, stays intact.
