USD/JPY fell below the 110.00 handle after Masatsugu Asakawa's (vice-minister of finance for international affairs) comments that Yen intervention will stay in toolbox.
Downside found strong support by risisng trendline at 109.40, pair has seen a bounce off the trendline support.
Hourly charts show stiff resistance at 109.95 levels (1H 50&10-SMAs), intraday bias is lower.
US dollar also remains subdued due to the US services PMI for May which added to the bearishness in the manufacturing sector.
That said, rising expectations that the Fed could hike at any of the next few meetings likely to keep downside limited.
Immediate support and resistance are seen at 109.61 (10-DMA) and 110.34 (23.6% Fib June 2015 to May 2016 fall).
Trade Idea: Sell rallies around 109.80/90, SL: 110.35, TP: 109.45/109.25
