FxWirePro: USD/JPY extends previous session's slump, escalating trade war and increased odds of a Fed rate cut weigh

USD/JPY chart - Trading View 

USD/JPY consolidates previous session's slump, bias bearish.

Escalating Sino-U.S. trade war and increased odds of a Fed rate cut weigh.

The major has broken major trendline support at 108.75 and hit 5-month lows at 108.07.

Momentum studies are bearish, Stochs and RSI are sharply lower and volatility is rising.
