USDJPY is close to 151.958

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) increased its policy interest rate to 0.00-0.10% in March, bringing interest rates out of negative territory. Although the yen was expected to increase, the market witnessed a decline in the yen, causing the USDJPY exchange rate to increase.

Although the Bank of Japan gave limited guidance on further policy tightening, markets viewed the move as a moderate interest rate hike, so the yen's depreciation fueled sentiment. that the central bank could intervene to support the yen.

In addition to great nonfarm payrolls data, hawkish speeches from Federal Reserve officials helped US bond yields reach their highest level in more than four months and also supported USD/JPY. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note hit 4.42% on Monday, its highest since November 27. Higher US bond yields and the USD push USD/JPY higher still.

On the daily chart, USDJPY has not yet broken the confluence resistance level by the upper edge of the price channel (a) and the 1% Fibonacci level of 151,958 to qualify for a new bullish cycle.
While USD/JPY still has a primary bias to the upside, sustained activity below 151.958 provides room for short-term downside corrections without changing the primary uptrend.
In the long term, the main trend of USD/JPY is up with the main price channel (a) as the long-term trend and the short-term uptrend supported by EMA21.
The main uptrend in USD/JPY will be highlighted by the following technical levels, and traders should also pay attention to the possibility of a slight correction occurring.
Support: 150,767 – 150,102
Resistance: 151.958
