- USD/JPY is losing about 90 pips on Friday amid broad-based USD selling.
- USD/JPY is still holding above a daily trendline from March, 26 suggesting that the bull trend is still in effect. However, the sell-off is happening near the 2018 high and just below the weekly 200-period simple moving average, increasing the odds of a successful bearish reversal.
- USD/JPY just found support at 111.39 May 21 swing high and while a bounce can be expected it remains to be seen if the bull trend can actually resume to new highs.
