USD/JPY Technical Analysis: USD buyers looking to launch from 111.00

  • The USD/JPY is struggling to hold onto slim gains in recent weeks, putting the brakes on a slide from last week’s high above the 112.00 handle.
  • Current action is pricing in a floor near 111.00 as Greenback bulls prepare to make a push higher.
  • Daily candlesticks still have the Dollar-Yen pairing embedded in a bullish trend, and the USD is seeking to make another higher low on longer-term timeframes.
