Will the USD/JPY reach the 103.00 level?

The Dollar keeps gaining strength versus most of the major currencies, especially versus the Yen, after the better than expected Gross Domestic Product report out of the United States. The data shows that the US economy has been expanding at a sustainable rate and this may prompt the Federal Reserve to raise its interest rates.

On the daily chart below of the USD/JPY we can see that the price has been trending higher with a strong bullish momentum and it may try to touch the 103.00 level. On the previous visit of the price to that level, the pair bounced rapidly to the downside from there, but this time around we must be careful, because if the fundamentals out of the US keep coming out better than expected, then the pair may try to break above the 103.00.

  2. Usd/jpy has traded above the 102 level finally. However, there is a significant amount of resistance just above, and is not going to get back to the 103 level without a fight.
