USD/JPY gains ground, supported by falling Treasury yields. Forex traders have calmed down after recent volatility, and USD/JPY is slowly moving towards the 150.00 level.

RSI is in the moderate territory, so there is plenty of room to gain momentum in case the right catalysts emerge. The technical picture is bullish as USD/JPY has recently managed to settle above the 50 MA at 146.95 and is heading towards the nearest resistance at 149.50 – 150.00.
