USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Holds above an ascending trend-channel/100-hour SMA confluence support

   “¢   A weaker opening around the US equity markets prompted some safe-haven buying and exerted some downward pressure during the early North-American session.

   “¢   Technically, the price has been trending higher alongside a short-term ascending trend-channel formation on the 1-hourly chart over the past two weeks or so.

   “¢   The channel support coincides with 100-hour SMA and would act as a key trigger for the bearish traders amid broad-based USD weakness.

   “¢   Meanwhile, indicators on the mentioned chart have started losing positive momentum, albeit are holding comfortably in the bullish territory on the daily chart.  

   “¢   Hence, any meaningful dip towards the lower trend-line support, coinciding with 100-hour SMA, would be bought into and thus, limit any immediate fall.
