USDJPY maintains a softer tone and the pair traded sharply lower Thursday. The latest sell-off highlights a clear break of the trendline drawn from the Mar 24 low. This strengthens a bearish threat and signals scope for a continuation lower with sights on 140.71 next, a Fibonacci retracement point. The pair is - for now - trading above this week’s low of 141.71. Short-term gains are considered corrective. Initial firm resistance is at 146.23, Dec 4 low.
