Even though in the early Tuesday morning the pair moved quite confidently towards the weekly R1, which is located at the 112.07 level, in second half of the day it made a rebound and did not go above the 111.90 mark anymore.  

Surprisingly, but a release of better than expected American housing data did not led to appreciation of the Greenback against the Yen. In contrast, bears successfully dragged it to the bottom and only combination of the 55-hour SMA and the monthly R1 at 111.26 managed to stop the further downfall. 

Such outcome suggests considering a possibility of transformation of a dominant ascending channel into a rising wedge. However, even if the new pattern will take the lead this fact should not change the general yesterday's scenario. 

On the other hand, the relevance of this pattern will greatly depend on the Fed's decision that will be made later this day.
