USD/JPY Technical Analysis: A break below 113.00 figure is inevitable

  • USD/JPY is trading in a bull trend above the 200-period simple on the 4-hour chart.
  • USD/JPY bulls have been trying hard to break above 113.55 resistance in the last weeks but their effort has not paid off so far. The MACD indicator is turning bearish while the Stochastic is pointing downwards.  
  • The bullish momentum is slowing. In the absence of a break above 113.55, the bears could take the lead and drive the market below the 113.00 support en route to 112.55 support.
