USD/JPY:Although the market recently broke to fresh record lows below 76.00, failure to establish any downside momentum on the break suggests that the market could be looking to establish a more meaningful base. The latest daily close back above 77.30 encourages recovery outlook (despite the ensuing drop) and we look for additional upside over the coming sessions back towards critical short-term resistance by 80.25. Ultimately, only a daily close back under 76.50 delays constructive outlook.
