Summary: USDJPY, EURJPY GBPJPY and CHFJPY lower and there could be further downside to come
AUDJPY still holding up above support but for how long?
USDJPY has broken below support at around 149.20 thus breaking bearish out of its trading range to the 0.618 retracement at 147.60
RSI is testing the 40 threshold and if closing below USDJPY is likely to see continued selling down to the 0.786 retracement at 146.96, possibly to the key strong support at around 145.84
If USDJPY is being lifted back above 149.20 uptrend is likely to resume
EURJPY is testing support at around 160.97 and the 0.50 retracement at 160.90.
A break below is likely leading to further selling pressure to the 0.618 retracement at 160.23 possibly down to the 0.786 retracement at 159.28
However, the 55 DMA has crossed over the 100 and since they are both rising the underlying trend sentiment it bullish
