USD/JPY Technical Analysis: USD/JPY finds resistance near 111.20 level

  • USD/JPY is keeping the trading range theme intact this Monday as USD/JPY found resistance at the 111.16 resistance.
  • As the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages are coiled together the market lacks a clear directionality.  
  • However, a daily close below last week low at 110.58 would likely be seen as a bearish clue and more selling can be on the cards in such scenario. The 110.27 level, July 4 low, would be the first scaling point to the downside.
