  • SUP 4: 138.07 Low Jul 28 2023  

USDJPY is unchanged. Recent gains appear to have been a correction and last Friday’s sell-off reinforces this theme. The move down also highlights a likely resumption of the downtrend. An extension lower would open 139.58, the Sep 16 low and a bear trigger. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the downtrend and open 139.00, a Fibonacci projection. Key resistance is at 146.18, the 50-day EMA.
