Following the massive plunge mid-Thursday, USD/JPY entered in a minor consolidation phase, thus being stranded between the 55– and 200-hour SMAs at 111.69 and 112.21, respectively. The pair found support at the monthly PP at 111.80 prior to moving north. An immediate resistance is provided by the aforementioned 55-hour SMA, while the next resistance located at the 113.36 mark is a distant target. Technical indicators demonstrate mixed results; thus the possible direction of the US Dollar is unclear. In case bullish sentiment prevails in this session, the rate may approach the 55-hour SMA and may even breach it. Nevertheless, the base scenario favours the rate continuing to move sideways, remaining in the 111.70/112.20 territory.
