In the bigger picture, no change in the view that rise from 102.58 is the third leg of the up trend from 101.18 (2020 low). Such rally should target a test on 118.65 (2016 high).

Intraday bias in USD/JPY is turned neutral on loss of upside momentum. In case of another rise, we’d look for strong resistance from there to limit upside.
