USDJPY traded well Wednesday, placing the bear channel resistance under considerable pressure. This opens a move toward 104.40, the Jan 11 high, a rise above which would signal a reversal of the trend. To the downside, fresh weakness would expose 103.28 and 103.02, Fibonacci retracements. Clearance of 103.95 and 104.40, Jan 11 high would reverse the trend.
