USD/JPY 30-minute chart
USD/JPY is trading below its 50 and 100 SMA suggesting that the market is currently in a correction. If bulls can find some footing near 109.80 support they can aim toward 110.05 and 110.30 resistances. Further down, support is at 109.50 and 109.30. A break below 109.00 on a daily closing basis can invalidate the bullish bias.
