USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Approaches an important hurdle near the 111.40 region

   “¢   Resurgent USD demand/fading safe-haven demand helps build on overnight strong gains and continue with the bullish momentum further beyond the 111.00 handle.  

   “¢   A move beyond early July highs, around the 111.15 zone, was key for buyers and could be attributed to the latest leg of a sharp spike over the past few hours.

   “¢   Bulls now eye a decisive move beyond May swing high resistance, near the 111.40 region, also coinciding with 61.8% Fibonacci expansion level of the 109.37-111.14 up-move and subsequent retracement.
