USDJPY maintains a bearish tone and the pair is trading lower again today as it extends the bear cycle that started Jun 30. The recent sell-off has resulted in a break of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs and price is again inside the bull channel drawn from the Jan 16 low. The move signals scope for an extension towards 139.18 next, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial resistance is at 140.34, the 50-day EMA.
