  • RES 1: 157.71 High May 29

The trend outlook in USDJPY remains bullish and the latest pullback appears to be a correction - for now. However, the pair has breached the 20-day EMA and the continuation lower has exposed key support at 154.65, the 50-day EMA, and 153.81, a trendline drawn from the Dec 28 low. A clear break of this support zone would be bearish. For bulls, a move above 157.71, the May 29 high, is required to resume a short-term uptrend.
