- A renewed risk-aversion wave gripped markets on North Korea threats, boosting the safe-haven flows for the Yen.
- Also, the Greenback is paring some of the FOMC-led gains, which is adding to downside pressure on USD/JPY.
- The major is down 0.55% on the day, trading at 111.83 after hitting session lows at 111.65.
- Daily cloud at 111.60 offers strong support on the downside, we see further weakness on break below.
- The pair has completed a 'Bearish Cypher' pattern which adds scope for downside.
- Break below 111.60 is likely to see test of 50-DMA at 110.34. Bearish invalidation above 112.95.
