Despite being pressured to the downside early Thursday, USD/JPY made a U-turn and moved closer the upper channel boundary. The given level, however, was not reached, allowing some room for further appreciation up to 111.42. Yesterday's trading session resulted in a death cross of the 55– and 100-hour SMAs, thus flashing bearish signals. Other technical indicators likewise support a possible fall down to the 111.05/10 territory. As no significant fundamental events are scheduled for today, the pair may continue its movement sideways, setting the aforementioned 111.42 and 111.05 as a possible trading range. In case of strong upward risks, the US Dollar should cap at the 111.80 mark where the monthly PP is located.
