USDJPY is holding on to recent gains and traded higher Friday. The pair remains above 121.28, the Mar 31 low. A corrective cycle is potentially still in play despite recent gains. 121.28 represents a key short-term support. A break would allow for an extension lower and open 120.95, Mar 24 low ahead of the 120.00 handle. On the upside, clearance of 125.09, the Mar 28 high and bull trigger, would confirm a resumption of the primary uptrend.
