USDJPY drifted lower Wednesday. The trend outlook remains bearish and the pair continues to trade below the key short-term resistance at 131.58, the Jan 18 high. Initial resistance is seen at the 20-day EMA, at 130.42. A continuation lower and a break of 127.23, the Jan 16 low and bear trigger, would open 126.81, a Fibonacci projection. For bulls, clearance of 131.58 would be a positive development and signal a short-term reversal.
