USDJPY trying to gain some upside momentum, though there's been little follow
through. Resistance remains at the last Tuesday's 106.98 high and represents an
important S/T hurdle for bulls. The overarching trend is still bearish and the
focus is on support at 105.05 and 105.00. From a Japanese candle perspective

break above 106.98 though is required to validate this pattern.
