USDJPY remains below last week’s high of 131.58 and the 20-day EMA, at 131.01. Recent activity appears to be a bear flag formation - if correct it reinforces the downtrend and signals scope for a continuation of the trend. A break lower would open 126.81, a Fibonacci projection - the bear trigger is 127.23, the Jan 16 low. On the upside, clearance of 131.58, the Jan 18 high, would be bullish and signal scope for a stronger correction.
