The USDJPY corrective pullback resumed Tuesday. The pair has traded through support at 126.95, Apr 27 low. This level represents an important short-term pivot level and the breach suggests scope for a continuation lower. Current weakness is still considered a correction and is allowing a recent overbought trend reading to unwind. Attention is on the 50-day EMA, at 125.89. Initial firm resistance has been defined at 129.78, May 17 high.
