USDJPY traded higher Wednesday and the pair breached resistance at last Weds/Thurs' 114.25/26 highs. A clear breach of this resistance would strengthen bullish conditions and open 114.38, a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the Nov 24 - 30 downleg and also signal potential for a stronger rally. A resumption of weakness would instead expose key support at 112.53, Nov 30 low. Watch initial support at 113.14, the Dec 17 low.
