USD/JPY Technical Analysis– Prices declined as expected after putting in a Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern. Prices are staging a mild recovery from support at 100.68, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, but overturning bearish implications of overall positioning requires a close above the May 22 high at 103.73. A move below support eyes the 38.2% retracement at 98.80.
