The USDJPY trend outlook remains bullish and while the pair is consolidating, it is also holding on to its recent gains. Price has pierced 136.67, 38.2% of the downleg between Oct 21 and Jan 16. A clear breach of this hurdle would set the scene for a climb towards 138.17, the Dec 15 high. On the downside, the support to watch lies at 133.73, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this EMA is required to signal a possible reversal.
