USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Bears eyeing to test 200/100-hour SMA confluence region

   •  The pair finally broke down of its Asian/European session consolidative trading range and has now eroded a major part of overnight strong gains after weaker than expected US PPI figures.

   •  The pair is now all set to snap three consecutive days of winning streak and the downward momentum could extend towards important moving averages (200 & 100-hour SMA) confluence support.

   •  The mentioned region also coincides with 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the 110.38-111.65 up-move and should act as a key trigger for bearish traders/any further downfall.

   •  Technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart have also drifted into bearish territory and thus, reinforce prospects for a follow-through weakness on the back of some fresh technical selling.
