Technical analysis of USD/JPY for September 08, 2017
USD/JPY is under pressure and expected to prevail its downside movement. The pair is trading below its declining 20-period and 50-period moving averages, which play resistance roles and maintain the downside bias. The relative strength index is bearish and calls for a further decline.

Alternatively, if the price moves in the opposite direction, a long position is recommended above 108.50 with a target at 109.40.
