USD/JPY Breaks Major Support – Heading Lower Still?

Yesterday the pair tore through support in the 94.00 area.  A drop of that magnitude was not expected – the pair had almost a 300 pip move!

The drop does signify a longer term down trend is about to begin with the target being 87.00.  Intermediate support is expected between 90.00 and 89.50.

Currently the pair has bounced off the lows at 91.80 and is trading at 93.18.  A successful retest of the 94.00 level, where price try to test this level and then retreat once again will confirm the breakout.
