USD/JPY Hits Major Resistance

The Japanese yen steadied after July’s unemployment met expectations. A close above 138.80 has put the greenback right under last July’s peak at 139.40, hitting a 24-year high. A bullish breakout would attract more buying interests and resume the uptrend in the medium-term. In the meantime, an overbought RSI may cause a limited pullback as intraday traders take profit in the supply zone. Fresh selling as a last attempt by the short side might drive the pair lower. 136.30 is a key support to keep the momentum going.
