The USD/JPY rallies more than 100 pips and clears the 134.00 mark, breaking north of the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 133.77, a bullish/bearish bias measure for an asset. Hence, the USD/JPY shifted bullish during the session, though a daily close above the 200-day EMA would keep bulls hopeful for further upside. At the time of writing, the USD/JPY exchanges hand at 134.28 after hitting a low of 132.54.

From a daily chart perspective, the USD/JPY shifted upward biased after dropping from last year’s high of 151.94 towards the YTD low of 127.21 on January 16. Nevertheless, the USD/JPY needs to clear the confluence of the 100-day EMA and the YTD high at 134.77 to cement the uptrend.
