USD/JPY will be happy with everything

Nikkei closed 1,44% at 15,051.60, thus having minimal impact on the currency moves. USD/JPY is confined to 40-pip range, but still is looking for every opportunity to go higher. The disappointments from US data no longer do any harm to USD, as everybody put up with the weather factor. Nevertheless, every positive development from America may trigger sharp waves of interest to the currency. Thus, if the scheduled for release US CB Consumer Confidence Index surprise to the upside, it may bring the pair back to 103.00 area with initial target at 102.98 resistance level.
