This week’s move lower in USDJPY appears to be a correction. The recent breach of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs, has strengthened a short-term bullish condition. This signals scope for a climb towards 142.08, 61.8% of the early July downleg. A break would open 143.22, the 76.4% retracement point. On the downside, key support has been defined at 137.25, the Jul 14 low. Initial support to watch lies at 139.11, the Jul 20 low.
