A sharp sell-off this week in USDJPY reinforces the current bearish cycle and the pair is trading closer to its recent lows. The move down signals scope for an extension towards 151.10, a Fibonacci retracement point. Note too that the 200-dma lies at 151.53. On the upside, key short-term resistance is seen at 157.46, the 50-day EMA. Clearance of this average would signal a potential reversal. The medium-term trend outlook remains bullish.
