USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Closing Thursday on its low – More down

  • USD/JPY failed to break above 112.00 figure and created a double top with August 1 peak.  
  • The 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages are trading relatively flat on the 4-hour chart suggesting the market is range bound. The RSI, the Stochastics Oscillator and the MACD are in negative territories suggesting that the risk is skewed to the downside with 110.00 as main target.  
  • A bull breakout above 112.00 would invalidate the bearish bias.
