USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Bulls losing steam below 112.00 level

  • The FOMC announced that it left the target interest rates  unchanged  in 1.75-2.00% range and USD/JPY fell to the 111.39 support from which it is now rebounding.  
  • USD/JPY is trying to regain the ground lost on Wednesday as it trying to keep prices above the 200-period simple moving average (SMA). The 50 SMA crossed below the 100 SMA suggesting that the market is now losing some bullish momentum in the near-term.
  • Failure to recapture 111.82-112.00 would be seen as a bearish sign. Supports lie at 111.39 and 111.02-111.16 area.
