FxWirePro: USD/JPY recovery capped below 5-DMA, bias lower, stay short

• BoJ minutes released this Tuesday morning showed that majority of members agreed that there is a need to keep the policy easy as the 2% inflation target is still distant.
   
• Several members believe ‘information on QQE exit’ could cause market turbulence.
   
• Yen edged lower after BoJ minutes pushing USD/JPY higher to hit 111.33 levels.
   
• Recovery lacked traction, upside was seen capped below 5-DMA at 111.42, pair has slipped lower to currently trade at 111.10 levels.
   
• We see the major on track to test 110.95 (June 22 low) and then 109.25 (channel base).
   
• Consecutive spinning top and doji formations on daily candles last week, followed by close below 200-DMA and a 'Death Cross' formation support downside. 
   
• Bearish invalidation only on decisive breakout above 200-DMA at 111.89.

Support levels - 110.95 (June 22 low), 110.23 (May 18 low), 110, 109.25 (channel base)

Resistance levels - 111.42 (5-DMA), 111.61 (50-DMA), 111.89 (200-DMA)
