USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Breaks through an ascending trend-line support, now seems vulnerable

   “¢   The pair remained capped at the 200-hour SMA for a major part of today’s trading session and has now broken below a short-term ascending trend-line support on the 1-hourly chart.

   “¢   The downfall now seems to get extended towards testing another ascending trend-line support, extending from late-May through lows touched in June and July.  

   “¢   A follow-through selling would mark a fresh bearish breakdown and pave the way for an extension of the pair’s near-term downward trajectory.
