USDJPY bullish conditions remain intact and the latest pullback appears to be a correction. Recent highs resulted in a test of the top of a bull channel, drawn from the Jan 16 low which intersects at 141.01 today and represents a key resistance. A clear break of it would reinforce bullish conditions and open 141.61, the Nov 23 2022 high. For bears, a stronger reversal lower would highlight a potential top. Key support to watch is 138.20, the 20-day EMA.
