USDJPY continues to appreciate. Resistance at 136.63, the May 3 high, has been cleared and this signals scope for a continuation towards 137.77, the May 2 high and 137.91, the Mar 8 high. A break of this resistance zone would strengthen bullish conditions. On the downside, initial firm support is seen at 134.96, the 20-day EMA. Key support is far off at 133.50, the May 4 low. A break of this level would reinstate a bearish theme.
