Technical analysis:

USD / JPY is fluctuating around SMA 50 after testing the support for the bullish intraday channel shown in the picture. As long as the price is below 112.14, our bearish outlook remains effective as breaching it will push the pair to resume the short term uptrend which is at 113.50 .

We note that a break of 111.75 will reinforce expectations of heading towards our main target for the suggested bearish wave at 110.08.
