Despite strong dollar, Usd/Jpy continue trading sideways in a narrow range, the pair is lack of strength to confirm further bearish trend.
Dollar/yen had a bullish momentum earlier today, hitting 113.70. Trade signals are up for testing 114.00/30 in the near future. But overall I still prefer a bearish scenario at this phase and any upward pressure should be seen as a good opportunity to short positions. The nearest support is at 113.35. A clear break below that area could lead price to neutral trading zone testing 112.65.

Dollar/yen had a bearish momentum yesterday, bottomed at 111.53 and hit 111.42 earlier this morning. The outlook remains bearish, but note that the zone 111.50/30 is key support and a good place for a long position with tight stop loss. Purchases around this area will give a better price and risk/return. Immediate resistance is 112.30/50, whose breakthrough could lead price to neutral zone for testing 113.00 or higher. On the downside, a clear break and daily close below 111.30 would reactivate the bearish pattern as part of the scenario of the double top (118.60).
