Despite the pullback from recent highs in early Asian trading on Monday, analysts believe that the pair remains in an uptrend.
"We see higher levels for the dollar-yen. There's no reason for [the yen] to gain on any sustainable basis, but in the near term, we can see a pullback," Patrick Bennett, FX Strategist at CIBC, told CNBC's "Street Signs Asia" on Monday.
"The Bank of Japan is likely to re-affirm announced stimulus tomorrow though prospects of shelving the [second] VAT hike (tentatively scheduled for October 2015) may not be welcome. Overall, dollar-yen bias is higher on U.S.-Japan divergence," analysts at Mizuho Bank wrote in a note, referring to the central bank's 2-day policy meeting which commences on Tuesday.
