FX.co ★ Technical analysis of USD/JPY for April 12, 2018

USD/JPY is under pressure and expected to trade with bearish outlook. The pair retreated from 107.05 (the previous high) and broke below its 20-period moving average after touching the 50-period moving average. The relative strength index is below its neutrality level at 50 and lacks upward momentum. Hence, as long as 107.25 is not surpassed, look for a return to 106.60 (lows of April 9 and 10). A break below of this level would trigger another decline to 106.40.
