USD/JPY Technical Analysis: dip-buying to limit any immediate sharp downslide
• Formation of a rectangular chart pattern on hourly charts suggest consolidation just below the psychologically important 110.00 mark and the very important 200-day SMA.
• Short-term technical indicators hold in bullish territory and further add credence to the near-term positive outlook.
• Sustained break below 109.75-70 horizontal zone might negate bullish view and prompt some long-unwinding weakness.
