The latest pullback in USDJPY steadied Wednesday, working in favour of the view that recent weakness was likely part of a correction. The move lower has resulted in a break of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs, exposing trendline support at 146.10 - the trendline is drawn from the Mar 24 low. It is however possible that the correction is over. Tuesday’s price pattern is a dragonfly doji candle, a reversal signal. If correct, it signals scope for a stronger rally that would expose key resistance at 151.95, the Oct 21 2022 high.
