  • USD/JPY is having a pullback while it is trading in a bull trend.
  • Bears broke below the trendline (blue) and the 50-period simple moving average. USD/JPY is consolidating the recent decline below 113.55 (October 2 low) just above the 100-period simple moving average.  
  • Failure to recapture 113.55 should lead to more decline in the short term. Targets to the downside can be seen near 113.00 figure and 112.55 (September 27 low). A breakout above 113.55 would invalidate the current bearish bias.
