USD/JPY Technical Analysis: USD bull trend stalling near the 111.00 resistance

  • USD/JPY is evolving in a rising  channel as USD bulls are trying to lift the pair above the 111.00 round figure in order to reach the next likely resistance level at 111.41 May 21 high.  
  • Repeated failures to breakout above 111.00 could lead to sideways price action to a rotation down as the US Dollar is having a pullback accross the board after the bull spike on Thursday.
