USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Bulls struggling near daily lows below 111.00 level

USD/JPY lost about 50 pips on Wednesday and fell below the 111.00 figure in early European trading.
USD/JPY is trading below its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages suggesting a short-term bearish bias. Bulls objective is to end the bearish pullback phase started on July 19 in order to resume the bullish trend. Ideally, they should be starting making higher highs and would need at least a breakout above 111.54-111.64 area with follow-through buying.
On the flip side, bears want to convert the current bearish pullback into a bearish reversal. A breakout below 110.58 (July 26 swing low) might force bulls out of their positions and might lead to an acceleration towards 110.27 July 4 low, creating a lower low on the daily chart in the process.
