FxWirePro: USD/JPY struggles to hold break above 50-DMA, stay long on close above

• USD/JPY erased gains above 50-DMA to close at 112.40 on Monday's trade.
   
• The pair failed to gain upside momentum after the bullish gap open.
   
• Price action capped below cloud top and 50-DMA, further upside only on decisive break above.
   
• Technical studies are biased higher, RSI points north and is gaining traction above 50 levels.
   
• Stochs are sharply higher and MACD is on verge of a bullish crossover on signal line.
   
• Break above 50-DMA finds next immediate resistance at 113.25 (61.8% Fib retrace of 114.737 to 110.843 fall).
   
• On the flipside, 5-DMA at 112.33 is immediate support, break below will see test of 200-DMA at 111.67.

Support levels - 112.45 (20-DMA), 112.33 (5-DMA), 111.90 (38.2% Fib of 107.318 to 114.737 rally), 111.67 (200-DMA)

Resistance levels - 112.98 (23.6% Fib of 107.318 to 114.737 rally), 113.25 (61.8% Fib retrace of 114.737 to 110.843 fall), 113.91 (Nov 14 high)

Recommendation: Good to go long no decisive break above 50-DMA, SL: 112.15, TP: 113/ 113.25/ 113.90
