In line with expectations, the Greenback continued to gain value against the Yen, breaking through the upper edge of a junior descending channel. The surge was mainly based on release of positive information on the US manufacturing activity.
However, a combination of the 55- and 100-hour SMAs located near the lower support line of a dominant ascending channel additionally supported the above-mentioned soar.
Because of the hawkish Fed outlook, anticipation of Trump's tax reform and other favourable fundamental background, the pair is expected to continue to head to the north.
However, there is a need to take into account that due to 48 pips advance just in three hours the Yen might force the pair to make a temporary rebound and restore some lost positions.
