USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Turns vulnerable below a horizontal support
• The pair struggled to build on overnight rebound from two-week lows and met with some fresh supply near 50-hour SMA.
• A follow-through weakness below an important horizontal support now seems to have opened the room for a further near-term downfall.
• Technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart hold in negative territory and reinforce prospects for an extension of last week's decline from six-month tops.
