Close below 112.32 to signal fresh downside and expose a cluster of daily MA supports between 111.94 and 111.80, followed by daily Kijun-sen at 111.64 and thickening daily cloud (spanned between 111.23 and 111.07.
Alternative scenario requires sustained break above daily Tenkan-sen (113.37) to sideline immediate downside threats.
