USD/JPY Found support at 50% Fibo

FOMC's meeting Minutes and the soft figures on durable goods orders in USA hurt USD/JPY and the pair dropped to 111.15, - 1.14% for the day and  thus marked a fresh new two-months low. Technically speaking, the short term outlook remains bearish. On the four hour time frame the price is placed well below its moving averages, having bearish 20-day SMA and flat 100-day and 200-day SMAs. Stochastic has reached extreme oversold area and is showing strong downward slope. RSI is located slightly below 30 level and is also displaying bearish momentum. As seen on the same chart the price finds support at the 50% Fibonacci retrŠ°cement of latest September to early November bullish run around 111.00. The risk leans to the downside and in case the pair crosses to below above mentioned level, doors are opened for testing next support area around 110.90 (the unfilled gap from early September). However, tomorrow will be a calm day due the Thanksgiving day in both US and Japan and no significant moves are expected, but on Friday are due Manufacturing PMIs and the pair is going to resume its movement.
