FxWirePro: USD/JPY hovers around strong trendline support at 108.40, good to go short on break below

  • USD/JPY hovers around strong trendline support at 108.40, we see weakness on break below.
     
  • Technical studies are biased lower, RSI and stochs point south and we see -ve DMI dominance.
     
  • Price action is below daily cloud and major moving averages and recovery seems to be capped at 5-DMA.
     
  • Break below 108.40 will see test of 108 levels ahead of 107.31 (Sept 8 low).
     
  • On the flipside, close above 5-DMA could see test of 20-DMA at 109.52. Break at 20-DMA could invalidate bearish bias.
     
  • Focus now will be on the US inflation report due to be released on Wednesday at 13:30 GMT.

Support levels - 108.40 (trendline), 108.13 (Double bottom), 107.31 (Sept 8 low)

Resistance levels - 108.76 (5-DMA), 108.90 (78.6% Fib), 109.52 (20-DMA)

Recommendation: Good to go short on break below 108.40, SL: 108.90, TP: 108.15/ 108/ 107.35.
