USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Bulls trying to regain control, eyeing a move beyond 100/200-hour SMA

     “¢    The pair built on its steady recovery move from over two-week lows and has now climbed to fresh session tops, further beyond the 111.00 handle on the back of upbeat US monthly jobs report.

     “¢    The up-move is likely to confront stiff resistance at a confluence region, comprising of 100/200-hour SMAs and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the decline over the past 24-hours.

     “¢    Beyond the mentioned cluster lies a previous ascending trend-line support break-point, now turned resistance, which if cleared should act as a key trigger for bullish traders.
