USDJPY is firmer but continues to trade below last Friday’s high for now. Trend signals remain bearish and the recent impulsive rally appears to be a correction. A resumption of weakness would refocus attention on 140.25, the Dec 28 low. On the upside, resistance to watch is 145.97, the Jan 5 high. A break of this level would be a bullish development. This would instead signal scope for a climb towards 147.32, the Dec 7 high.
