USDJPY is unchanged and remains in consolidation mode. The trend direction is down. Price is trading below key short-term resistance at 131.58, the Jan 18 high and below the 20-day EMA, at 130.62. A resumption of weakness would open 126.81, a Fibonacci projection - the bear trigger is 127.23, Jan 16 low. On the upside, a break of 131.58 would be a bullish development, signal a short-term reversal and open 133.51, the 50-day EMA.
