USD/JPY expected to head lower from these levels

forextraplaces Updated   
FX:USDJPY   U.S. Dollar / Japanese Yen
With the 25 EMA is almost crossing the 50 EMA and USD/JPY at an area of RESISTANCE, this pair looks to be headed lower.
There's no a great deal of momentum in the market so this could be a slow burner.
There's no significant USD scheduled news until Thursday so there's no reason to see USD BULLS entering the market.
Most logical area of SUPPORT comes in at the 200 day EMA at 143.30 so if the price makes it down there then we would have to see whether this level supports or whether we're headed to 141.69 (WS1) over the next few days.

Signs that USD is finding support at WWP (weekly mid pivot level).
Current candle is forming a pinbar at support so this trade is over
