USDJPY is consolidating and remains firm. A strong bullish theme follows the break last week of a long-term trendline (at 113.41) drawn off the December 1975 high. This marks a potentially significant breach and reinforces both the short and medium-term bullish outlook. Attention is on a vol band resistance at 115.17. On the downside, initial firm support is seen at 112.08, Sep 30 high and a recent breakout level.
