USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Nothing to get excited about - More ranges ahead

  • USD/JPY bull trend is on hold as the market has been range bound since mid-July. 
  • USD/JPY is testing a bull trendline (dotted line) and the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) suggesting that the market might find some resistance at this level. 
  • Bulls would need a breakout above the bear trend line (blue line) and possibly above the 112.00 figure in order to confirm a bullish bias while for the bears 110.00 seems to be the line-in-the-sand. Until there is a clear directional bias, more ranges are to be expected on USD/JPY.
