Short-term trend conditions in USDJPY remain bearish despite Monday’s modest bounce, with recent price action highlighting a bear flag formation. If correct, this reinforces the downtrend. A continuation lower would open 137.37, the Aug 29 low. The pair has pierced 138.64, 61.8% of the Aug 2 - Oct 21 bull leg. A clear break of this key Fibonacci retracement would reinforce bearish conditions. The 50-day EMA at 143.68 remains a key short-term resistance.
