USDJPY continues to weaken. A bearish theme dominates following a sharp reversal on Aug 28 and this week's selling pressure. The pair has cleared support at 105.20/10, Aug 28 and 19 low respectively and the recent near-term bear triggers. This strengthens the bearish case and reinforces recent bearish price patterns. The focus is on 104.19, Jul 31 low. Initial firm resistance is at 105.81, the 20-day EMA.
