USD/JPY’s fall resumed by taking out 110.62 and reaches as low as 110.25 so far. Current development suggests that decline from 118.65 is deeper than originally expected. Intraday bias is turned back to the downside for 100% projection of 118.65 to 111.58 from 115.49 at 108.42 and possibly below. On the upside, above 111.57 minor resistance will turn bias neutral first. But near term outlook will stay mildly bearish as long as 115.49 resistance holds.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 125.85 high are seen as a corrective pattern. sustained trading below 55 week EMA (now at 111.11) will indicates that such consolidation is not completed. And another fall would be seen back to 98.97 as the third leg. In that case, downside would be contained by 61.8% retracement of 75.56 to 125.95 at 94.77 to complete the correction. On the upside, above 115.49 will extend the rise from 98.97 to retest 125.85 first. Overall, up trend from 75.56 is expected to resume after the consolidation from 125.85 completes.
