USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Greenback bulls looking for a breakout above 109.84

• USD/JPY is trading above its 200-period simple moving average (4-hour) suggesting bullish momentum. However, USD/JPY is having a hard time to break above the 109.84 level, 100-period SMA (4-hour).
• USD/JPY found some support at 109.68, the 50-period simple moving average (1-hour) and at the 200-period SMA on the 15-minute chart.
• Bulls will need to strongly break above the 109.84 and 110.00 handle if they want to extend the current uptrend towards 110.79 May 22 low.
• A failure to break the 110.00 handle can see USD/JPY stay in a tight range above the current daily low at 109.60. A break below the level can open the gates to the 109.00 handle support.
