USDJPY is under pressure as this week's move lower extends. A bearish theme dominates following a sharp reversal on Aug 28. The pair is testing support at 105.20/10, Aug 28 and 19 low respectively and the near-term bear trigger. A clear beak would strengthen a bearish case and reinforce recent bearish price patterns. This would open 104.19, Jul 31 low. On the upside, initial firm resistance is at 106.02, the 20-day EMA.
