Technical levels
Despite it moved off lows, USD/JPY still holds a bearish bias. Below 112.00, attention would turn to 111.60, where February lows area located. Below that level, the next target could be seen near the 111.00 zone.
On the upside, if the US dollar rises above 112.50/55 (American session high / 20-hour moving average) it could remove the negative short-term momentum. Above the next resistance level might be seen at 112.95 (daily high) and 113.30.
