  • USD/JPY is currently in a consolidation phase after the bull run seen last week.  
  • USD/JPY is currently supported at 112.19 (July 11 high) and the near-term resistance is 112.64 (July 12 high).
  • The bears want to convert the bull trend in a bearish reversal by breaking 112.19 while bulls want to drive the market near the current 2018 high at 112.82.
  • Both parties are fairly balanced but since the bearish correction has been very weak so far, the bulls are still owning the market at this point in time.
