USDJPY bearish concerns have receded somewhat following Wednesday's gains. In pattern terms, Wednesday's activity is a bullish engulfing reversal candle. If correct, it does suggest a base has been found at 105.10. An extension higher would refocus attention on the 107.05 key resistance, Aug 13 high. Sub 105.10 levels however would instead again highlight a bearish risk and open the major support at 104.19.
