Clearance of this hurdle would resume the uptrend. Note that MA studies are in a bull-mode position - this suggests the M/T uptrend remains intact.
USDJPY has started the week on a firmer note. Price has breached the 50-day EMA, at 144.91, and a close above it would highlight a stronger reversal. This would expose 146.19, the Jun 24 high. For now, gains still appear corrective. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode position, signalling a dominant downtrend. A resumption of weakness would open 142.12, the May 27 low and a key short-term support.
