USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Dobule top breakdown on 4H, US-JP yield differential drops
A bearish technical pattern and a narrowing US-Japan yield differential indicate USD/JPY could test the support at 112.23 in the next 24 hours or so.
The pair's previous 4-hour candle closed below 111.64, confirming a double top breakdown. The RSI on the 4-hour chart has dropped to 50.00, having created a bearish divergence two days ago.
Further, the spread between the 10-year US and Japanese government bond yields dropped two basis points yesterday, having narrowed six basis points in the previous two trading days.
So, the pair will erase minor gains above 111.64 seen at press time, opening doors for a deeper drop toward 111.23.
