USDJPY is consolidating. The pair stalled last week at 107.77, May 11 high which

represents the initial key resistance this week. A break would open 108.08, Apr

16/17 high where a move beyond is still required to highlight a reversal. The

recent breach of 106.36, Apr 30 low reinforced bearish conditions supported by

MA studies that continue to point south. A return lower would refocus attention

on 105.81, Mar 17 low and 105.21, a retracement level.
