USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Bulls eager to break above 112.00 figure

  • USD/JPY main bull trend is taking a breather since mid-July as the market has entered a trading range.
  • USD/JPY bulls are trying to break above the bear trendline from July 17 but they will also have to break above the 112.00-112.17 zone (figure and August 1, swing high) if they wish to resume the bull trend.  The RSI, MACD and Stochastics indicators remain constructive to the upside.  
  • However, the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages are flat suggesting that there is not yet convincing momentum in the market.
