The data from the ADP pollster will be published in the next few hours. The report could give an idea regarding what will be rough data in the nonfarm payrolls on Friday. In case the report logs strong employment which is bullish for the USD, we could see an upward acceleration in USD/JPY and the pair could reach the 133.50 area and even 3/8 Murray at 134.37.

Our trading plan for the next few hours is to sell the USD/JPY pair only in case there is a pullback towards 133.55 with targets at 132.60 and 131.30 (21 SMA). The eagle indicator is approaching the overbought zone, so it is likely that there will be a technical correction in the next few hours.
