USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Rebounds from descending channel resistance break-point turned support

   •  The pair showed some resilience below the 111.00 handle and once again managed to catch some bids near a short-term falling channel resistance break-point. 

   •  However, mixed technical indicators on the 4-hourly chart haven't been supportive of the pair's uptick of around 30-pips from an intraday low level of 110.85.

   •  Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a follow-through momentum beyond last week's swing, around the 111.80-85 region, before positioning for any further up-move.

   •  Alternatively, a convincing break below the resistance turned support might turn the pair vulnerable to head back towards testing August monthly lows, sub-110.00 level.
