USD/JPY at 2-week high

During the last three sessions the USD/JPY pair is moving steadily upwards and today marked a fresh two-weeks high at 114.58. The renewed expectations for rates hike and the rising US bond yields fuelled the greenback’s strength. 
Technical reading on the four-hour time frame are showing bullish signals. The 20-day SMA is crossing to above the 100-day SMA, which is starting to turn south. RSI and stochastic are displaying extreme overbought conditions and had marked higher highs.
Strong resistance is seen at 114.95 – 115.00 area and in case US bulls find enough power to conquer it, the rally might be extended towards 115.30 – 115.65. Short-term support is now located at 114.00 and lower at 113.65.
