The short-term outlook in USDJPY remains bearish despite Monday’s gains. Last week’s print below 145.56, Oct 24 low, signals scope for an extension of a short-term bearish corrective cycle. Momentum studies are trending down, allowing a recent overbought condition to unwind. The focus is on the 50-day EMA at 144.03 - a key support. Key resistance is at 151.95, the Oct 21 high. Initial firm resistance to watch is at 149.71, Oct 24 high.
