The trend direction in USDJPY remains down and last week’s gains are considered corrective. However, the 50-day EMA has been tested, it intersects at 133.34 and represents a key S/T hurdle for bulls. A clear break, if seen, would alter the picture and suggest scope for a stronger recovery. This would open 133.77, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, the bear trigger is at 129.64, the Mar 24 low. A break would resume the downtrend.
