USD/JPY Technical Analysis: US Dollar bulls taking a breather after three attempts to break above 110.50

• Bulls have attempted to break above last week’s high at 110.28 three times on Tuesday. The weekly 50-period simple moving average is located at 110.23 and is also providing resistance. A strong breakout of the 110.23-110.28 area should see a trend resumption towards 111.41 May 21 high.  
• However, a failure to break the current weekly high at 110.51 could see USD/JPY consolidates in the 110.00-110.51 area in the coming hours.
