USD/JPY Technical Analysis: bulls struggle to make it through a key horizontal resistance

   “¢   The EU immigration deal-led bullish momentum stalls at an important horizontal level, which has been acting as a key hurdle over the past two weeks or so.

   “¢   Given that the pair has already broken through a short-term descending trend-line resistance – drawn from highs touched on May 21 and June 15, any fall might now be looked upon as a buying opportunity.

   “¢   Even short-term technical indicators are holding comfortably in bullish territory and further reinforce expectations of a follow-through up-move.

   “¢   Only a decisive weakness back below the very important 200-day SMA might now negate the positive outlook.
