USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Regaining ground at the 113.00 level, but key barriers remain


  • USD/JPY faces downside pressure heading into Wednesday's early session, with moves into the upside getting pressured by downside resistance from the 113.00 handle.

USD/JPY, 5-Minute

  • The Dollar-Yen pairing has accelerated declines in the last two weeks, slipping into lows at 112.50 after Tuesday's freefall from a trendline at 113.65, and Wednesday's early attempts at a bullish correction are facing pressure from the 50-period moving average nearby at 112.95.

  • Looking further back, USD/JPY is constrained in a tightening cycle pattern, pushing sideways as buyers on both ends await further impetus before knocking the pair into a new trend, and traders will likely be waiting for a break-and-retest of either barrier before picking a dedicated direction.
