USDJPY remains vulnerable following the recent sell-off. Yesterday saw the pair trade below support at 105.30, Aug 6 low signalling scope for a deeper pullback. Furthermore, the move through 105.30 undermines the recent recovery and exposes the key support at 104.19, Jul 31 low. Key resistance has been defined at 107.05 where a break is required to reinstate bullish confidence. Initial resistance is at 106.05, Aug 18 high.
