FOREX Trading: Yen Crosses are Stretched

The long term USDJPY inverse head and shoulders breakout the week that ended 12/14 has led to immediate gains. The traditional measuring technique yields an objective of about 9362. Currently testing upward sloping channel resistance and the 100% extension of the rally from the record low (I'm interested to see how the week closes), this would be a good time for some consolidation. 8520 is of interest as support&ESPECIALLY if on a news spike (fiscal circus anyone?).
