The U.S. April ISM Non-Manufacturing Index was released shortly after GMT 14:00, showing good figures that prompted buying, but it subsequently fell back, and trading for the day closed at 143.68 yen.
Today the USDJPY reached a high of 144.27 yen shortly after GMT 01:30, but quickly reversed course and as of GMT 05:00, it is trending downward to around 143.7 yen.
Looking at the 1-hour chart of the USDJPY (as of GMT 05:00 on May 6), the band width has narrowed, indicating a movement close to consolidation. Due to strong selling pressure, the downward bias is apparent, and a break below yesterday's low seems likely.
