USDJPY is holding on to its most recent gains. For bears, the pullback from 156.74, May 14 high, continues - for now - to signal the end of the corrective phase between May 3 - 14, and a possible resumption of a short-term bearish cycle. Attention is on 153.66, the 50-day EMA, and 152.73, trendline support drawn from the Dec 28 low. Clearance of these two price points would strengthen a bearish threat. 156.74 is the resistance to watch.
