USD/JPY Technical Analysis: flirting with trendline from March lows amid risk aversion

  • Currently, the USD/JPY pair is trading just above the support of the trendline sloping higher from March lows, having printed a nine-day low of 111.82 earlier today.
  • A daily close below the trendline support of 112.06 would confirm a bullish-to-bearish trend change and shift risk in favor of a drop to the 200-day EMA of 110.95.
  • On the higher side, a move above 112.89 (Oct. 22 high) would imply that the pullback from the recent high of 114.55 has made a temporary low below 112.00 and could yield a move higher toward 114.00.
  • The bearish scenario looks likely as the S&P 500 futures have dropped well below the key support of the 50-week EMA, emboldening the bears.
