USDJPY traded lower Thursday. 127.52, the May 12 low has been breached and this exposes the next key short-term support at 126.95, the Apr 27 low. The current pullback is likely a correction, and this is allowing a recent overbought trend reading to unwind. A break of 126.95 would signal scope for an extension towards the 50-day EMA, at 125.60. A reversal higher and a move above 130.05, May 9 high would be a bullish development.
