USDJPY remains above support at 130.41, Tuesday’s low. Gains are - for now - considered corrective. A bearish theme is intact following recent weakness that resulted in the break of a number of important technical chart points. A bull channel breakout, drawn from the Mar 4 low signalled a short-term reversal. Support at 131.50, the Jun 16 low has also been cleared. A resumption of weakness would open 130.00. Initial resistance is at 135.32.
