13::05 GMT - USD/JPY failed to sustain the downside pressure noted in our prior Update. Back near the high of the day for now, but not quite ready for a solid upside breakout. The resistance zone at 118.79/87 is looking to be a tough area to break today, so we assume more whippy action within the range. Support at 117.28/18 for now. R.Z
