USD/JPY Technical Analysis: USD bulls left in the cold - USD/JPY dropping towards 110.10 level


  • USD/JPY main trend has paused since July, 19 as the market is in a triangle consolidation. 
  • USD/JPY is challenging last Friday’s low as the market has rejected the 50-daily simple moving average. Bears target is 110.10 August 13 swing low and the trendline.
  • A bull breakout above 111.45 swing high would negate the short-term bearish bias.
