A combination of two fundamental trends has caused a surge of the USD/JPY. First of all, the US better than expected monthly employment data caused a strengthening of the USD. Secondly, the markets realized that the Bank of Japan has not made a promise to change their policy, but is just evaluating its ultra easy policy.

By mid-Monday, the rate had reached the resistance of the 146.50 level and the 200-hour simple moving average. During the surge, it was spotted that moving averages and round price levels impacted the rate and acted as both resistance and support.
