The USDJPY trend outlook remains bearish following Tuesday's 6 point drop in the pair. Key support at 131.74 has given way, opening losses toward early August lows of 130.41 for direction. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode position and price remains well below the 20-day EMA, at 137.21. The daily RSI is nearing oversold territory, which could slow downside progress near-term, but the overarching theme remains negative for now.
