Since a month USDJPY moves in a consolidation between 122.20 – 123.60, yesterday we saw an unsuccessful attempt of breaking above consolidation upper limit. That breakout may occur today, after ECB meeting or tomorrow after Non-farm Payrolls. If upper limit of consolidation breaks, next resistances will be seen near: 124.40, 125.10. Alternatively if price moves down next supports will be at levels: 121.40, 120.30, 118.80.
In a long term, since 2012 USDJPY moves in an uptrend. However since six months we did not see a new high. It is possible that the correction is coming to an end which is currently more likely than trend reversal. Breaking above year-to-date high (125.85) will signal that price returned to an uptrend.
