USDJPY
The old saying it is the reaction to news that matters proved true once again with USDJPY extending its retreat.
Key support at 146.56 (broken, use 146.50 as the pivotal level) and 146.21 block exposing 145.75.
Key intra=day resistance 147.33, stays offered while 147.00 caps the upside.
USDJPY DAILY CHART

Using my platform as a Heatmap shows…
… the dollar staying on the defensive with the JPY outperforming and the EURUSD lagging.
A key focus today will be on US benchmark employment revisions for the 12 months through March 2025.
