USD/JPY Technical Analysis: sustained move beyond 111.00 to reinforce construction outlook

   “¢   The recent price action reinforces the importance of an important confluence support, comprising of 55-day SMA and a short-term ascending trend-line extending through lows touched in April/May/June.

   “¢   The 111.00 handle has kept upticks under check since mid-June and hence, the pair needs to decisively move above the mentioned hurdle to bolster the near-term bullish bias.

   “¢   Technical indicators are holding in positive territory, but look fragile, and hence, a strong follow-through buying would be needed to reinforce the constructive outlook.
