  • USD/JPY is in a strong bull trend as it is trading above its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving average.  
  • USD/JPY might be set for a corrective move down as a head-and-shoulders pattern is in the making.  The RSI, MACD and Stochastics indicators are also losing steam.
  • The current context suggests that a pullback down to 113.55 (October 2 low) and possibly to 113.18 can be next.
