FxWirePro: USD/JPY rejected at 20-DMA, slips below 109 handle, bias lower

• USD/JPY was rejected at 20-DMA, breaks below 5-DMA at 109.26, intraday bias bearish.
   
• Rising risk-off is bolstering the demand for the safe-haven Yen, weighing on the USD/JPY pair.


• BoJ Governor Kuroda was out on the wires, said the central bank is watching market moves carefully.
   
• The BoJ can be expected to begin taking measures to weaken the Yen if market sentiment persists.
   
• Technically, the pair was capped at stiff resistance at 20-DMA and we see further upside only on break above.
   
• The pair now finds minor trendline support at 108.40, breach there could see 107.31 levels.

Support levels - 108.40 (trendline), 108.16 (88.6% Fib retrace of 107.318 to 114.737 rally), 107.31 (Sept 8 low)

Resistance levels - 108.90 (78.6% Fib), 109.28 (5-DMA), 110.01 (20-DMA)

Recommendation: Good to go short on rallies around 108.75/85, SL: 109.30, TP: 108.40/ 108.15/ 107.35.
