USD/JPY took advantage of the surge in US bond yields to rally to its highest levels of the week (in New York) of 85.39. With daily downtrend resistance at 85.37 and change, we’ll consider this a good test of downtrend resistance. Additional resistance comes in at 89.53, the 20-day moving average.

85.15 is modest support on dips near-term.
