By Yan Petters – The USD/JPY pair saw quite a consistent bullish trend during the past month. The pair gained about 400 pips during the last four weeks, rising from the 80.20 level up to the 84.20 level on Friday. However, after the pair failed to breach through the 84.20 level it began correcting gains, and is now trading near the 83.90 level. The bearish correction is likely to extend today, with potential to reach the 83.00 level.
