USD/JPY Gains traction as volatility among Treasuries reflected the sentiment

The USD/JPY is trading 300 pips above Friday’s low, up with 7% for the day with current market price 110.15, due to the sharp recovery on US Treasury yields. The macro agenda today has nothing to share in any of both sides and markets ignored Trump’s latest comments on political concerns. The risk-on trading was also supported by the silence from North Korea and the calming Irma, which finally brought less damages than expected.
Technically speaking the pair is losing bearish strength. On the four hour time frame the price is moving well above its 100-day and 200-day SMA, while the 20-day SMA has turned to the upside.
RSI and stochastic are located within extreme overbought conditions, but this is not enough to show exhaustion.
However we must be careful if bulls could not conquer 110.25  (the immediate resistance) as then a downward correction is upcoming, having in mind the sharp reversal from Fraday’s low.
Next Asian session is decisive proposing Japan’s producer price index release with expectations for firm numbers suggesting surge the yen.
