USDJPY remains above 130.41, the Aug 2 low. Recent gains are - for now - considered corrective. A bearish theme was confirmed by the recent break lower that resulted in the breach of a number of important technical chart points. On Jul 28, a bull channel breakout, drawn from the Mar 4 low, signalled a reversal. Support at 131.50, the Jun 16 low has also been cleared. The next key resistance to watch is 137.11, the former channel base.
