USDJPY rallied Wednesday following the BoJ decision. However, the pair stalled at resistance around the 20-day EMA which intersects at 131.45 today. The reversal from the Wednesday high reinforces the current bearish theme and attention is on support at 127.23, the Jan 16 low. A break would confirm a resumption of the downtrend and open 126.81, a Fibonacci projection. Clearance of 131.58, yesterday’s high, would be bullish.
