USDJPY remains below this week’s high and the 20-day EMA. The average intersects at 131.16 today. Recent activity appears to be a bear flag formation - if correct it reinforces the downtrend and signals scope for a continuation of the trend. A break lower would open 126.81, a Fibonacci projection - the bear trigger is 127.23, the Jan 16 low. On the upside, clearance of 131.58, Wednesday's high, would be bullish.
