Japanese Yen: Testing major resistance band – Societe Generale

Societe Generale analysts underline that USD/JPY has rebounded after defending a multi-month ascending trend line and 200-day moving average near 155. The pair is edging toward the April high at 160.50/160.70, seen as crucial resistance. A break of first support at 158.70 could trigger a deeper decline despite ongoing support from higher US yields.
