USD/JPY Technical Analysis: USD/JPY stays range-bound below 112.17 level

  • USD/JPY main bull trend is on hold since mid-July as the market has entered a trading range.
  • USD/JPY bulls are trying to break above 111.84 resistance (August 29 swing high). However, the RSI and Stochastics have a relatively high reading which is rather bearish in a trading range context like this one. Therefore a return towards 111.00 figure is expected.
  • Only a sustained bull breakout above 112.17 (August 1, swing high) would confirm a bullish condition.
