Technical analysis:
The USDJPY pair touched our first awaited target at 112.46 and is stabilizing. As the price does not support the ascending channel appearing in the picture, we continue to favor the bearish bias in the coming sessions, with our next target at 111.97.
The price is trading below the moving averages and the SMA 50 is pressuring the price to push it further bearish. While the stochastic has reached the oversold area and this reinforces the bearishness
We note that a breach of 112.96 then 113.56 will stop the negative scenario and lead the price to regain the main ascending path again.
The trading range for today is among the key support at 111.80 and resistance at 113.00.
Support and resistance:
Support: 112.5-111.80;
Resistance: 112.75-113.00-113.50.
