USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Bull-to-bear trend change confirmed

  • The USD/JPY pair closed well below the crucial 100-day moving average (MA) support, confirming a bullish-to-bearish trend change.
  • The long-term average had caught lows on a closing basis in May, August, September, and October. The average also worked as strong support earlier this month.
  • The bears, therefore, could be feeling emboldened, having breached the 100-day MA. Simply put, the break below the key average marks an end of the rally from the March low of 104.63.
  • The pair could soon explore levels below the psychological support of 110.00. The bearish outlook would be invalidated if and when the 100-day MA hurdle is scaled.
