USD/JPY is correcting lower

“USD/JPY has so far paused at psychological resistance at 115.00. The divergence of the RSI and yesterday's price action point to further near-term consolidation.”

“ Above 115.00, we have 115.60, the 61.8% retracement of the move down from 2015 and then the 117.56 the 1998-2021 resistance line and the 119.41, the downtrend from 1975.”

“Nearby support lies 112.73/112.56 then the 111.66 July high, which should hold the downside.”
