Potential bullish breakout in play on USD/JPY

Tokyo has just opened and we see futures traders shorting the yen with decent volume, which suggests institutions have a bearish bias today on the local currency.

This has pushed USD/JPY up to a 4-day high, and keeps a bull-flag breakout in play on the 1-hour chart. The flag projects a target around 135.50, but we're looking for prices to retrace towards the 113.17 high for a potential long to increase the reward to risk ratio.

Note that the sideways oscillation formed a triple bottom around 134.63, before a higher low formed around 135 / 200-bar EMA to show an increase in bullish activity - which favours an upside break from its sideways range.
