The USD/JPY pair has been on a bullish run, recording new historical highs and showing strong positive momentum. The pair has successfully surpassed the anticipated target of 145.00, with the potential to continue its rise towards 146.10. This upward trend is supported by the EMA50 and is expected to persist, although temporary sideways fluctuations may occur due to stochastic negativity. On the fundamental front, the Bank of Japan’s policy normalization is being bolstered by broadly rising wages across Japan, marking the fastest wage growth since 1993. This wage increase is more widespread than initially thought, with small and medium enterprises also participating in the trend. However, the Bank of Japan will require more evidence than a single wage print to unwind years of supportive monetary policy.
