The pause in USDJPY appears to be a flag formation - a bullish continuation pattern. If correct, it suggests today’s pullback is a correction. MA studies remain in a bull-mode position, highlighting a clear uptrend. Sights are on 151.91/95, the Nov 13 high and Oct 1 ‘22 highs respectively. This resistance has been tested, a clear break would resume the long-term uptrend and open 152.66, a Fibonacci projection. Support is at 150.01, the 20-day EMA.
