As of around the New York session close on Monday, price action on USD/JPY (a 4-hour chart of which is shown) has dropped dramatically since the beginning of the day. This drop comes shortly after bouncing down off of a significant downtrend resistance line (represented by the long black line). Further bearish action should target intermediate support around the 104.00 region, which is the level of the last significant swing low.
