Recent break under trend-line support off 1.4797 negates the possibility of a double bottom at 1.4780/97. Scope is now seen for a short-term rise to create a lower high for a continuation of weakness.

USD/JPY

Lower rejection at 92.80 on 27 Apr, confirmed the underlying bull structure. A break above 94.31/35, 26/28 Apr highs, will complete a multi week bull configuration that sights the 97.00 area. Only break below 92.80 would delay.

Res: 94.35, 94.60, 94.77, 95.05
Sup: 93.71, 93.37, 92.97, 92.80
