USD/JPY Outlook: The Dollar Consolidates After 1% Fall, Bears Look For Extension Below Key 200SMA/Fibo Supports

Technical analysis of Forex market

The pair consolidates after the biggest one-day fall since early Jan on Thursday.

Strong risk-off mode on growing concerns about global growth and fall in oil prices keep the dollar under pressure, with no positive impact from less dovish than expected Fed.

Strong bearish acceleration on Thursday was contained by key supports at 110.90/76 zone (200SMA/Fibo 38.2% of 104.63/114.54 ascend), where bears may take a breather on oversold daily studies and profit-taking after 1% fall on Thursday.
