The USDJPY trend condition remains bullish. However, this week’s volatile session highlights the start of a possible corrective cycle and Wednesday’s sharp sell-off reinforces this theme. The pair has traded through support at the 20-day EMA - at 154.58 - exposing the 50-day EMA at 152.39, a key support. Note that trendline support drawn from the Dec 28 low, lies at 151.05. Initial resistance to watch is 157.99, Wednesday’s intraday high.
