USD/JPY Bears run the trend

It was quite interesting day for the USD/JPY pair, which marked an impressive high at 113.054, a level not seen since mid March. But bulls gave up during the US session and led the pair towards 112.38. 
Nothing certain could be said about the greenback, having in mind that DYX moved below the 99.00 level and the catalyst should be looked around elsewhere. US stocks are lower, but succeed to trim some of their losses. US Treasury yields pushed higher and marked fresh weekly highs, which somehow limited the Japanese Yen's gains. 
Technically speaking, the pair is situated well above the 100-day and 200-day SMAs, while the 20-day SMA is keeping its bulish stance. The four-hour time-frame is showing that RSI and stochastic had moved sharply lower and are heading towards oversold area, with string bearish momentum. 
Currently the pair is unable to break the strong dynamic resistance, that is standing at 112.50. Bears are dominating now with next target seen at 112.00.
