USDJPY as a result of declines, which lasted from June 2015, exactly one year later reached near a critical support, converging very precisely with 50% of the Fibonacci correction from earlier gains. There, the supply force decisively weakened and after a few months of consolidation there was a very strong demand response, which resulted in a dynamic growth for the next three months.

Looking at the weekly chart, we see that these gains reached the downward trend line, where in December there was a supply reaction. Since then, we have seen calm declines that appear to be only a correction before the next growth impulse.
