Despite the latest pullback in USDJPY, the trend condition remains bullish and short-term weakness is considered corrective. A fresh cycle high this week confirmed a resumption of the primary uptrend and this maintains the sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Sights are on 137.30, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support to watch is 134.27, the Jun 23 low. A break would suggest scope for a deeper corrective pullback.
