USD/JPY Reached Resistance

USD/JPY is currently at a crossroad between breaking the downward trend and confirming it. The pair is now trading at 112.78 which marks the resistance level on the medium term, namely, the trend that started in the beginning of January. Since then, the USD/JPY pair has been going South as price is obediently trading in a descending channel.

What traders and investors now anticipate is whether the line would be broken. A break above 113 would put some pressure on bears as this could be a possible discontinuation of the trend and the formation of a new uptrend move.

On the other hand, if price remains in the channel, bears would attempt to bring it down to potential target at 110.10, second target is expected at 108 and major short-term target is 107.
