- USD/JPY is consolidating after the recent 280-pip drop.
- USD/JPY bulls will need to overcome the 200-period simple moving average or else a small pullback towards 112.00 can be on the cards. The RSI and MACD indicators are constructive however the Stochastic is already in overbought condition.
- A break above the 200 SMA and 112.55 should open the doors to 113.00 figure.
