USD/JPY update

As per the pre-Tokyo-open analysis, USD/JPY is meeting a potential resistance area on the daily chart as the bulls move in on the 137.00s.

''If these were to hold, USD/JPY could face supply that may lead to a downside extension. On the flip side, a move in USD/JPY beyond the trendlines and 138.00 will leave the scope for a significant bullish correction with 140.00 and beyond eyed.''
