The USDJPY trend outlook is unchanged and remains bullish. However, Friday’s move lower and today’s bearish extension, highlights potential for a deeper corrective pullback. The pair has traded below support at 135.26, the 50-day EMA. The clear break of this average strengthens a short-term bearish threat and exposes 131.31, a Fibonacci retracement point. On the upside, the bull trigger and key resistance has been defined at 137.91, the Mar 8 high.
