USD/JPY four-hour chart
USD/JPY is trading in a wedge-shaped pattern while above the main SMAs. If the bulls fail to regain the 110.35 level, the market can remain sideways with increasing odds for a potential down move. If the bears breach 110.05 support, the spot could decline towards the 109.85 and 109.55 levels, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator. On the flip side, a break above 110.35 can open the gates to 110.52 and 110.69.
