USDJPY maintains a firmer tone and has extended the recent climb off 102.59, Jan 6 low. The pair has cleared the 50-day EMA, strengthening current short-term bullish conditions. This resulted in prices briefly breaching key resistance at 104.38, the top of a bear channel drawn off the Mar 24 high. A channel break, if seen, would signal a stronger trend reversal. On the downside, 102.59 is the bear trigger. Initial support is at 103.53, the 20-day EMA.
