USDJPY has pulled back from Tuesday’s high of 137.97. The move lower signals the end of the recent corrective phase that started on Dec 2. A continuation lower would open 133.63, the Dec 2 low and bear trigger. A break of this level would confirm a resumption of the current downtrend and pave the way for a move towards 132.56, the Aug 15 low. The 20-day EMA, at 138.60, remains the first key short-term resistance.
