The sharp sell-off Thursday extended into the Friday close with the pair settling below Y140 through the London close. The sharp post-CPI downtick continues to weigh on sentiment and confirmed a continuation of the current bear cycle that is unwinding a more recent overbought condition. The longer-term trend, however, remains bullish. Support at 140.36, the Sep 22 intervention low has been cleared. This opens 138.64 next, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm resistance is seen at 144.75, the 50-day EMA.
