USDJPY rallied sharply higher last Friday and Monday’s gains highlight a bullish start to the week. The pullback from Tuesday’s high is considered corrective - for now. Friday’s rally resulted in a break of 135.13, Apr 19 high, to confirm a resumption of the trend that started Mar 24. This paves the way for a test of 137.91, the Mar 8 high and a key resistance. Initial firm support at 135.13, the Apr 19 high, has cracked. The next downside level crosses at the 134.40 20-day EMA.
