USDJPY traded slightly higher into the close, but is still trading closer to recent lows and at levels around the 20-day EMA that intersects at 136.70. The recent move lower is considered corrective and attention is on two key support levels; 135.30, the base of a bull channel drawn from the Mar 4 low and 134.27, the Jun 23 low. A break of this support zone would signal scope for stronger reversal. The primary uptrend is intact, 139.39, the Jul 14 high, is the bull trigger.
