USD/JPY may rise 112 - 163 pips

Our pivot point is at 141.40.

Our preference

The upside prevails as long as 141.40 is support.

Alternative scenario

Below 141.40, expect 140.54 and 140.03.

Comment

The RSI is trading above 70. This could mean that either the pair is in a lasting uptrend or just overbought and that therefore a correction could shape (look for bearish divergence in this case). The MACD is positive and above its signal line. The configuration is positive. Moreover, the price is trading above both its 20 and 50 period moving average (respectively at 141.47 and 140.97).
