USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Head-and-Shoulder pattern can send USD/JPY down to 110.00 figure

  • USD/JPY bull trend is on hold as the market created a head-and-shoulder pattern. 
  • USD/JPY is breaking below the bull trendline while the RSI, MACD and Stochastics indicators are bearishly configured. Bulls will try to support the market at the 100-period simple moving average and the 111.00 figure but at this stage, the market seems to be set for a retest of the 110.75 (July 23 swing low) and possible 110.00 figure. 
  • A bull breakout above 111.84 August 29 swing high would invalidate the bearish bias.
