I continue to favor the downside against 98.46.  The long term trend remains down and I expect a resumption of that trend.  The drop beneath trendline support last week bolsters the bearish case.  A short term bearish target has been hit at 96.  The USDJPY has bounced from the low side of a short term channel and resistance is at 97.45.  Keep the big picture in mind; price is below the 200 day SMA (which is sloping down) and RSI is not yet oversold.  Bearish potential is significant.
