  • USD/JPY extends slump for 3rd consecutive session, closes below 5-DMA.
     
  • We now see scope for test of 'Triple Bottom' at 108.72. Violation there could see further weakness.
     
  • Yen bid on risk-off after Barcelona 'Terror Attack', while the greenback remained under pressure on a dovish FOMC.
     
  • The pair has retraced from 38.2% Fib levels, and is currently trading at 109.32 levels.
     
  • 20-DMA at 110.35 is strong resistance on the upside. Only decisive break above could see further gains.

Support levels - 109.11 (June 7 lows), 109, 108.72 (triple bottom)

Resistance levels - 109.87 (5-DMA), 110, 110.35 (20-DMA), 110.93 (38.2% Fib of 114.49 to 108.72 fall)
