USD/JPY looks set to perk up heading into the weekend

The 1-hout chart shows that prices broken above Wednesdays high before retracing back into a support cluster, which includes the 10-day EMA and daily pivot point. Momentum looks like it wants to turn higher from here, although traders should always be on guard for the 'false move' around the UK/European opens before the 'real move' gets underway. Given the bullish trend structure on this timeframe, the bias is for a move back to the week's high with room for a run for 150.80.
