USDJPY traded sharply lower last Thursday, touching a low of 141.71. The break lower confirmed a breach of the trendline drawn from the Mar 24 low. This strengthens a bearish threat and signals scope for a continuation lower with sights on 140.71 next, a Fibonacci retracement point. The latest recovery - for now - appears to be a correction. Key short-term resistance to watch is 147.32, the Dec 7 high. A break would undermine the bearish theme.
