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 targets has been hit at 96.  The USDJPY is currently testing the low side of a short term channel and intraday studies are divergent and oversold.  Bounces should be capped by 97.45.  Keep the big picture in mind though; price is below the 200 day SMA (which is sloping down) and RSI not yet oversold.  Bearish potential is significant.
