USD/JPY Technical Analysis: USD/JPY bulls can reach 112.00 figure

  • USD/JPY main bull trend is on hold since mid-July as the market is trading in a range.  
  • The 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages are flat suggesting a lack of directional momentum.
  • In the short-term bulls might try to trade back up to near 111.84 (August 29 swing high) near the top of the range. But until there is a clear bull breakout above 112.00-112.15 zone USD/JPY is destined to remain range bound.
