Drilling to the hourly chart below, the price of the USDJPY initially move to the downside falling below a swing highs/swing low area at 105.149 to 105.183. After moving back above that level, the price was able to extend above a downward sloping trendline near 105.316 and the high from last week's trading at 105.338. The price has been able to stay above each of those levels giving more of a bullish tilt. Those levels are risk levels for buyers looking for more upside momentum.
