USDJPY is unchanged and in consolidation mode. The pair is holding on to the recovery from 140.36, the Sep 22 low. This level has been defined as a key short-term support where a break is required to highlight a top and the potential for a deeper retracement. The uptrend remains intact and attention is on the bull trigger at 145.90, the Sep 22 high. A break would confirm a resumption of the primary uptrend and open 146.03, a Fibonacci projection.
