USDJPY is firmer today as the pair extends the recovery from last week’s low of 130.58, on Dec 20. Current gains are considered corrective. The sharp sell-off on Dec 20 confirmed a resumption of the downtrend and maintains the bearish sequence of lower lows and lower highs. The next resistance to watch is 135.50, the 20-day EMA. On the downside, the bear trigger is 130.58 where a break would resume the downtrend.
