A bull cycle in USDJPY remains in play and Thursday’s pullback appears to be a correction. Resistance at 156.74, the May 14 high and 157.00, 61.8% of the Apr 29 - May 3 sell-off, have recently been breached. A continuation higher would open 157.99, the May 1 high. For bears, a stronger reversal would again refocus attention on key support at 154.49, the 50-day EMA, and 153.57, a trendline drawn from the Dec 28 low.
