Bullish Argument Down, But Not Out

  • SUP 4: 106.78 50.0% retracement of the Jan - Mar rally

USDJPY fell sharply post-payrolls, taking out trendline support at 108.44. This counters the bullish outlook, and a break and close through the Apr 23 low at 107.48 is needed to switch the narrative. To the upside, bulls take confidence from the recent recovery off 107.48, Apr 23 low, with MA studies also suggesting further gains. Attention is on 109.96, Apr 9 high.
