USD/JPY could attempt a move to 112.40
The sharp advance in USD/JPY on Wednesday (nearly 1.4% on the day) was in tandem with increases in open interest and volume in the (debilitated) Japanese currency, opening the door at the same time for an extension of the bullish move in the short-term horizon.
