The USDJPY outlook is bullish despite Thursday’s slip lower. The pair probed resistance at 131.25 on Monday, the Apr 28 high. A clear break of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and open 131.96, a Fibonacci projection. A move higher would also maintain a bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Key support has been defined at 126.95, Apr 27 low. Initial support at 128.58 has been broken - S/T dips are considered corrective.
