USDJPY falls despite weak Japanese data

Japan’s manufacturing sector contraction broadened in April: Markit’s manufacturing PMI fell to 43.7 from 44.8 in March. Readings above 50.0 indicate industry expansion, below 50 indicate contraction. This is bullish for USDJPY, but the technical setup is still bearish.
