USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Breaks lower after US data, seems vulnerable to slide further

   “¢   The pair started retreating from 50% Fibonacci retracement level of overnight downfall, also coinciding with 100-hour EMA, after worse than expected US data.

   “¢   Against the backdrop of a weaker USD, a fall below late Asian/European session consolidation phase now seems to have opened room for a follow-through downslide.

   “¢   A sustained move beyond the 110.90-111.00 region would be needed to negate the short-term bearish outlook and increase prospects for any further recovery.
