Blue lines- Bearish channel

Red line- bullish RSI divergence

Violet lines- Fibonacci retracement

In our USDJPY analysis yesterday we noted that there were increased chances of a bounce. Price made a low at 130.56 and is now challenging the upper channel boundary. Price technically remains in a bearish trend as it is still inside the downward sloping channel. Price however has started forming higher highs and higher lows. The bullish RSI divergence, combined with a reversal from the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement could produce an explosive bullish signal if price manages to break out above the bearish channel. Support is found at 131.05 low we made today. Bulls need to defend this level. Failure to do so will push price to new lows towards 130-129.
