  • RES 4: 153.40 61.8% retracement of the Jul 3 - Sep 16 bear leg 
  • RES 3: 151.94 Low Jul 25  
  • RES 2: 150.76 50.0% retracement of the Jul 3 - Sep 16 bear leg

  • SUP 3: 140.45 Low Sep 18  
  • SUP 4: 139.58 Low Sep 16 and the bear trigger   

USDJPY continues to trade closer to its recent highs and a bull cycle remains in play. Recent gains resulted in a break of the 50-day EMA, a bullish development that undermines a recent bearish theme and highlights a stronger reversal. Sights are on 149.39, the Aug 15 high. Clearance of this level would strengthen a bullish outlook. Initial firm support is 145.26, the 20-day EMA. Clearance of this level would signal a reversal.
