USDJPY remains weaker following yesterday's sharp sell-off and the confirmation of a resumption of the downleg from 106.11, Oct 7 high. A number of important supports were cleared yesterday signalling scope for a deeper pullback towards the key 104.00 handle, Sep 21 low. A break of 104.00 would signal scope for further USD depreciation within the bear channel drawn off the Mar 24 high. Initial resistance is at 105.04.
