USDJPY remains bearish and last week’s sell-off, plus Monday’s impulsive move lower, reinforces this condition. This paves the way for an extension towards the next key support at 140.25, the Dec 28 ‘23 low. Note that the pair is in an extreme oversold condition, and the latest recovery - a correction - is allowing this condition to unwind. Initial resistance is seen at 149.77, the Aug 2 high.
