  • SUP 4: 128.09 Low Feb 2

Recent weakness in USDJPY highlights potential for a deeper corrective pullback and the pair is trading closer to this week’s lows. 132.29, the Mar 13 low, represents an important short-term support. It has been pierced, a clear break would resume the bear leg and open 131.31, a Fibonacci retracement. For bulls, a resumption of strength would instead open the 136.00 handle and signal scope for a test of the bull trigger at 137.91, the Mar 8 high.
