USDJPY (102.36): USDJPY has managed to close above 102 yesterday, and the upside is likely to prevail for a move to 104.

A break down below 101.55 could potentially see USDJPY turn bearish with a test back to previous lows of 101, while to the upside, establishing support near 101.55 – 102 could see USDJPY push higher towards 104 and eventually to 105.
