USDJPY traded in a volatile manner late last week. The pullback on Sep 22 resulted in a print below 141.90, the 20-day EMA. The trend structure remains bullish - for now - and recent weakness is considered corrective. A continuation higher would expose 145.90, the Sep 22 high and the next bull trigger. On the downside, key short-term support has been defined at 140.36, Sep 22 low. A break would highlight a short-term top in the trend.
