USDJPY traded lower again yesterday and remains weak. The pair has breached Monday's low of 103.51 signalling scope for a deeper pullback. Attention turns to the key support of 103.18, Nov 6 low. A break of this level would negate a bullish engulfing reversal candle on Nov 9 and instead confirm a resumption of the broader downtrend and open 102.75, a Fibonacci projection. Firm S/T resistance resides at 104.76, Nov 4 high.
