USDJPY is trading higher and approaching last week’s high. The breach on Jan 11 of resistance at 145.97, Jan 5 high, undermines a recent bearish theme and instead highlights potential for a continuation of the bull cycle. This has opened 147.32, the Dec 7 high. A key short-term support has been defined at 143.42, the Jan 9 low. Clearance of this level is required to instead signal a top and highlight a resumption of bearish activity.
