USDJPY has started today's session on a softer note, extending the recent decline overnight. The outlook is bearish following the Oct 21 sell-off marking a resumption of the downleg from 106.11, Oct 7 high. A number of important supports have been cleared exposing the key 104.00 handle, Sep 21 low. A break of 104.00 would suggest scope for a deeper USD depreciation within the bear channel drawn off the Mar 24 high. Firm resistance is at 105.06.
