USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Pair has dived out of a rising channel

  • The USD/JPY has dived out of the rising channel, as seen in the hourly chart, adding credence to yesterday’s bearish outside day candle. As a result, the pair could drop to its 200-hour moving average (MA), currently located at 112.47.
  • Interestingly, the ascending (bullish) 10-day MA is also located at 112.47. Should the pair defend that level, then a rally back to 113.00 could be in the offing before Friday’s NY close.
  • It is worth noting that a close below 112.63 would validate yesterday’s bearish outside day and confirm a bullish-to-bearish trend change.
