USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Rally stalled on bearish divergence of the RSI

  • The USD/JPY pair could witness a minor pullback to 111.30, courtesy of the bearish divergence of the relative strength index (RSI), seen in the hourly chart.  A break below that level could be seen if Italy’s fiscal concerns trigger risk aversion in the European equity markets.
  • The overall outlook remains bullish as indicated by the ascending 5-day and 10-day moving averages, and yesterday’s bullish outside day candle. Further, the monthly chart is flashing a pennant breakout.
