USDJPY is challenging the lower channel boundary of the up trend that it started back in August. Price has been making higher highs and higher lows but on a daily basis we see some bearish divergence warning signs by the RSI.

Green lines - bullish channel

Black line- bearish divergence

USDJPY is challenging the lower channel boundary. Combined with the fact we have bearish divergence signs on a daily basis, a break below 108.50-108 on a weekly basis would be a bearish sign. Support is found at 108.50 but on a weekly basis 108 is more important. With RSI getting rejected once again at the black resistance trend line, the chances for a move lower have increased.

Black line- bearish divergence

Bearish divergence signs we have also in the 4 hour chart confirming our expectations for a pull back. Support is at 108.50 and next at 108. Resistance is at 109.15-109.30. As long as price is below that level i prefer to be bearish. Breaking above this level will open the way for a move above 110.
