USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Bears challenge 1-week old ascending trend-line amid risk-off mood

   •  The pair finally broke down of its overnight consolidative trading range and has now dropped to test a short-term ascending trend-line support, held over the past one week or so.

   •  The fact that the pair has now found acceptance below 50-hour SMA, along with bearish technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart support prospects for an eventual bearish break. 

   •  However, positive oscillators on the 4-hourly chart make it prudent to wait for a convincing break through the mentioned support before positioning for additional depreciating move.
