USD/JPY:The market could once again be looking to carve an interim base after setbacks stalled shy of the record lows from October by 75.55. The latest daily close back above 77.00 should do a good job of alleviating immediate downside pressures and reintroducing longer-term basing prospects. From here, look for an acceleration of gains back towards next key resistance by 78.05-78.30 further up which represents the 200-Day SMA and some key range resistance. At this point, only back under 76.50 would negate outlook and give reason for concern.
