Recent gains in USDJPY appear to have been a correction and Friday’s sell-off reinforces this theme. The move lower also highlights a likely resumption of the downtrend. A continuation lower would open 139.58, the Sep 16 low and bear trigger. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the downtrend and open 139.00, a Fibonacci projection. Key resistance is seen at 146.40, the 50-day EMA.
