USDJPY is consolidating near recent highs. Attention remains on Monday’s price action that in pattern terms is a bullish engulfing reversal. It suggests the pair has found a base at the recent Nov 30 low of 112.53. The 20-day EMA as a resistance - at 113.68 - is holding for now. A clear break would reinforce the candle pattern and open the November high of 115.52. Sub 112.53 levels would reinstate a bearish threat.
