Technical analysis of USD/JPY for August 31, 2017

USD/JPY is expected to continue its upside movement. The pair is holding on the upside and is trading above its ascending 20-period and 50-period moving averages, which play support roles. The relative strength index is bullish and calls for a further advance.

To conclude, as long as 109.85 is not broken, look for a new rise to 110.85 and even to 111.25 in extension.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the opposite direction, a short position is recommended below 109.85 with a target at 109.50.
