USDJPY maintains a bullish outlook. The pair rallied last week from what is now a support at 108.34, May 7 low. This resulted in a test and probe of the early April highs of 109.96, strengthening a bullish case and suggesting scope for further short-term gains. Note too that the recovery last week means trendline support drawn off the Jan 6 low remains intact. A break of 108.34 would threaten the utrend and also signal a break of the trendline.
