- USD/JPY bulls are eager to resume the main bull trend.
- USD/JPY is challenging the 112.17 resistance ( August 1, swing high). A sustained breakout above the level would open the gates to 112.50 figure and the 2018 high at 113.18. The RSI, MACD and Stochastics are supportive for higher prices.
- However, a failure above 112.17 or a bear breakout below 111.84 (August 29 swing high) would invalidate the bullish bias
