Technical analysis:
The USDJPY remains stable above the breached resistance, which constitutes good support at 111.40. Therefore, the upside is still valid for the short and medium term. It's supported by the SMA 50, which holds the price from the bottom, noting that our awaited targets start at 111.75 then 112.14.
Keep in mind a break of 111.40 will push the price down towards 110.86 before any new positive attempt.
The trading range for today is expected among the support at 110.86 and the resistance at 112.20.
The general trend for today is bullish.
