USD/JPY chart - Trading View
- USD/JPY struggles at 112 handle. Pair capped below 112 from past few sessions.
- The major trades 0.14% lower on the day at 111.90 at 0355 GMT, intraday bias slightly bearish.
- But, strong support seen at 111.87 - converged 2H 55 EMA and 1H 110-EMA. Further weakness only on break below.
- Data released earlier today showed Japan manufacturing contraction slowed in April but export slump deepened.
- The Markit/Nikkei Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) rose to a seasonally adjusted 49.5 in April from a final 49.2 in March.
- Technical indicators on the hourly charts have turned slightly bearish. Break below 111.87 will see dip till 111.62 (1H 200 SMA).
- Retrace below 200-DMA (currently at 111.53) will see test of daily cloud. Breach at cloud support negates bullish bias.
