USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Plunges to over two-week lows, confirms a near-term bearish breakdown
|• The pair's intraday attempted recovery, beyond the 113.00 handle failed ahead of 100-hour SMA, with bears taking back control during the early North-American session.
• A decisive breakthrough overnight/Asian session swing lows support, around the 112.60-55 region, was seen as a key trigger behind the latest leg of a sudden fall in the last hour.
• The downward momentum further confirms a bearish break below a symmetrical triangle on the daily chart and favours a follow-through drop to test the 100-day SMA support.
• With technical indicators just starting to gain negative momentum, the pair seems vulnerable to extend the near-term downward trajectory, possibly towards challenging Oct. monthly swing low.
