USD/JPY Tilted Up

The US Non-Farm Payrolls report showed weaker that expected numbers today, but nevertheless the decline in USD/JPY pair was seized, having in mind the weekly performance. Yesterday the pair marked a fresh 3-week low at 115.21 influenced mostly by the FOMC minutes released previous day. 
Currently the pair is showing signs of recovery and is trading at 116.96 and seems that is gaining momentum.
USD/JPY has crossed to above the 20-day EMA, which is now acting as support. RSI is placed around mid-lines, but displaying strong upward trend. Stochastic has recovered from the extreme overbought area and is firming the bullish trend.
The pair is very close and is quite likely to overcome the resistance at 117.00. Nest resistance is located at 118.60. Looking downwards support is seen at 115.21 (yesterday’s low) and lower at 114.73.
