- USD/JPY lost about 250 pips since last Thursday to current Monday’s lows. USD/JPY is currently supported by a daily trendline from March, 26.
- However, today’s sharp drop suggests that the bearish correction might not be over yet and a failure to build momentum above 111.39 and 111.60-111.80 area can lead to a retest of the current daily low at 110.75.
- On the other hand, a breakout above 111.60-111.80 area can lead to an acceleration to 112.19-112.40 area.
