The USD/JPY uptrend is persisting, but it is encountering strong resistance at the psychological 157.00 after clearing the May 14 high of 156.76. If buyers manage to surpass 157.00. that could lead to further gains. The next resistance emerges at 158.44, the April 26 high, and eventually challenges the year-to-date (YTD) high of 160.32.
