The USDJPY trend condition remains bullish. However, Monday’s volatile session highlights the start of a possible corrective cycle. An early rally Monday stopped short of resistance at 160.20, the Apr 1990 high, before reversing lower. Note that the trend condition is overbought and a deeper retracement would allow the overbought set-up to unwind. Initial key support to watch lies at 154.24, the 20-day EMA. The 50-day EMA lies at 152.08.
