USD/JPY pulled back as Treasury yields moved lower. USD/JPY remains extremely sensitive to Treasury yields dynamics as traders do not expect changes in the BoJ policy.

A move below the support at 138.70 will push USD/JPY towards the next support level at 137.50. On the upside, USD/JPY needs to climb back above 140.50 to have a chance to gain sustainable momentum.
