USDJPY topped the key short-term level marking the 50-day EMA on Tuesday. The break above 132.77 suggests scope for an extension higher that would expose 134.77, the Jan 6 high more broadly. The more medium-term trend direction for now remains down and recent gains are considered corrective. Firm support to watch is at 128.09, the Feb 2 low. The bear trigger is at 127.23, the Jan 16 low - a break would resume the downtrend.
