USDJPY traded higher last Thursday and in the process, pierced resistance at 137.97, the Dec 13 high. The pair has also tested resistance at 137.88, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of this average, if seen, would signal scope for stronger recovery and highlight an extension of the corrective cycle. This would open 140.00 and 140.19, the 50-day EMA. On the downside, the bear trigger is unchanged, it lies at 133.63, the Dec 2 low.
