The pair recently reached a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/blog\/en\/2011\/02\/25\/usdjpy-approaches-significant-support-level-at-81-60\/\">significant support level<\/a> yet failed to cross it. As a result, the USD\/JPY began climbing upwards, and still looks to reach higher. As several <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/en\/technical-analysis\">technical indicators<\/a> show, the pair has potential to reach as high as the 84.50 level.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The chart below is the USD\/JPY 1-day chart by ForexYard.<br \/>\n\u2022 It is clearly seen that the pair\u2019s trading was mainly characterized by ups and downs lately, without marking any real trend.<br \/>\n\u2022 The pair saw several failed attempts to breach through the 81.50 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/en\/price-support-levels\">support level<\/a>. As a result, it bounced back up and is currently trading near the 82.50 level.<br \/>\n\u2022 A bullish cross on the Slow <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/en\/stochastic\">Stochastic<\/a> indicates that the bullish momentum has more room to go.<br \/>\n\u2022 The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/en\/relative-strength-index-rsi\">RSI<\/a> has recently crossed the 30-level and is still pointing upwards. This indicates that the bullish move could proceed.<br \/>\n\u2022 In addition, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/en\/moving-average-convergence-divergence-macd\">MACD<\/a> looks to complete a bullish cross soon. If the bullish cross will  indeed takes place, it could be used as further evidence that the upward  movement will continue.<br \/>\n\u2022 The pair\u2019s next <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/en\/price-resistance-levels\">resistance levels<\/a> are located at the: 82.85, 83.50, 84.00 and the 84.50 level.<br \/>\n\u2022 The pair\u2019s next support levels are at: 82.30, 81.50 and 80.90.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/USD-JPY.bmp\" alt=\"USD JPY\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/?zone_id=1398\" target=\"_blank\">Forex Market Analysis provided by ForexYard. <\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/?zone_id=1398\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2006 by FxYard Ltd<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: Trading Foreign Exchange carries a high level of risk and                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      may                         not                   be                                                                           suitable                               for                                    all                                                                                                                    investors.
