USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Forming a bearish Head & Shoulders pattern on hourly chart
|• The pair struggled to build on overnight goodish rebound and was now seen retracing from an important horizontal resistance, near the 112.65 region.
• The pair now seems to be in the process of forming a bearish Head & Shoulders chart pattern on the 1-hourly chart, with neck-line support near the 111.95 region.
• Meanwhile, neutral technical indicators on hourly/daily charts have failed to support any directional bias, though seemed to have lost positive momentum.
Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a convincing break through the neckline support before •confirming the bearish set-up and positioning for any further near-term downfall.
