USDJPY continues to trade below this week’s high, however, the latest move down appears corrective. The trend outlook remains bullish. The recent breach of 156.75, the Nov 15 high, confirmed a resumption of the uptrend and has paved the way for a move towards 159.45, the Jul 12 high. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position highlighting a dominant uptrend. Initial firm support is 155.74, the 20-day EMA.
