USDJPY is trading modestly higher, but remains fragile after the recent sell-off. Earlier this week, the pair broke out of its recent range and is approaching support at 109.11, Aug 16 / Sep 15 low. A breach of this support would reinforce a bearish theme and expose the firmer support at 108.72, Aug 4 low. Clearance of this level would open 108.47, a Fibonacci retracement and below. For bulls, the level to breaks remains 110.80, Aug 11 high. Initial firm resistance is at 110.45/46.
