USD/JPY - 137.73
Dollar's decline from Thursday's fresh 24-year peak at 139.39 to as low as 137.90 in New York yesterday on broad-based USD's weakness due to return on risk sentiment and intra-day break there suggests long-overdue correction has taken place and further weakness to 137.50/55 cannot be ruled out before prospect of a strong rebound later.
On the upside, a daily close above 138.44 needed to revive bullishness for stronger gain to 138.80/90, break, 139.12, 139.39.
