USD/JPY
Reversal from 83.67, Friday’s peak has so far been contained by 82.84, previous low, with fresh strength required to clear 83.67 to resume the latest rally off 80.92, 03 Jan low, and open 83.90/84.19 next. Failure to clear 83.67 and loss of 82.84 would mark a near-term top and delay immediate bulls for stronger correction towards 82.62/30, 38.2% / 50% Fibonacci levels of 80.92/83.67 ascend.
