The USDJPY uptrend remains intact. This week's move above 135.00 reinforces the bull trend and maintains the positive price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Moving average studies are pointing north and indications are that the USD has further to go, despite being overbought. The focus is on the 136.04, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support is seen at 131.63, the 20-day EMA. A retracement would be considered corrective.
