USDJPY extended its bull run Friday and ended the week on a firm note. The pair has traded above resistance at 135.58, Aug 8 high. This strengthens a short-term bullish condition and signals scope for a climb towards 137.27, a Fibonacci retracement. A breach of this level would signal scope for a continuation higher. On the downside, initial firm support is seen at the 50-day EMA which intersects at 134.12, the Aug 18 low.
