USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Greenback bulls reintegrate bullish channel near 110.50


  • USD bulls are currently trying to reintegrate the former bull channel. If they can bring the market above the 110.56 supply and potentially form a base in the 110.23-110.56 area, the bulls have a chance to bring USD/JPY back to the 111.00 figure and maybe to 111.41 May 21 high. 
  • On the other hand, if USD bulls fail to break above the 110.23-110.56 area, it is reasonable to expect stalling movements or even a rotation down back towards the 109.50 level.
