USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Bulls gaining strength with 10-yr treasury yield at 3-week high

• The bullish crossover between the 50-hour and 200-hour moving averages (MAs) confirmed a few minutes ago, adds credence to the higher lows pattern seen in the daily chart and indicates the path of least resistance is on the higher side.
• The 10-year treasury yield holding at a three-week high of 2.9 percent is also favorably disposed towards the USD bulls.
• Only a break below the Aug. 31 low of 110.68 would abort the short-term bullish view.
