Gilt futures traded higher yesterday, resuming their short-term uptrend and strengthening the current bullish theme.

A short-term bull cycle in USDJPY remains in play - for now. The latest recovery is considered corrective and the trend condition remains bearish. A resumption of weakness would open 142.12, the May 27 low. A clear break of this level would confirm a resumption of the bear leg and open 139.89, the Apr 22 low. MA studies remain in a clear bear-mode position too, highlighting a dominant downtrend. Key short-term resistance is 146.28, the May 29 high.
