The current short-term uptrend in USDJPY remains intact, with prices bouncing back to flat ahead of the Friday close. Resistance at 134.75, 61.8% of the Mar 8 - 24 bear leg, was breached this week. The break strengthens the current bull cycle and signals scope for an extension towards 135.96 next, the 76.4% retracement. Initial firm support lies at 133.32, the 20-day EMA. Key short-term support is at 132.02, Apr 13 low. A break would be bearish.
