USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Confined in a range between 100 and 200-hour EMAs

   “¢   The pair struggled to build on the overnight goodish up-move and remained confined in a narrow trading band, between 100/200-hour EMA through the early European session.

   “¢   Technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart have been gaining some traction but are yet to catch up with the positive move on 4-hourly/daily charts, warranting caution.

   “¢   Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a convincing break through the mentioned range before traders start positioning for any firm intraday directional move.

   “¢   Below the 100-hour EMA support, near the 110.45-40 region, the pair is likely to accelerate the slide and aim towards challenging the key 110.00 psychological mark.

   “¢   Alternatively, a sustained move beyond 200-hour EMA might prompt some additional short-covering move and lift the pair further beyond the 111.00 handle.
