USDJPY maintains a firmer tone despite Tuesday's pullback. The pair earlier this week cleared the 50-day EMA, strengthening current short-term bullish conditions. Furthermore, Monday's climb resulted in prices briefly breaching key resistance, today at 104.31, defined by the top of a bear channel drawn off the Mar 24 high. The channel has contained recent gains. A break would signal a stronger reversal. Support is at 103.49.
