The USD/JPY tries to reverse its trend

The USD/JPY has been in a well-defined bearish channel, but during the past two days it has been rising until reaching the upper trendline of the channel. It is possible for the pair to try to change its trend to the upside, but in order for the trend reversal to take place it would have to first break above the 55 day EMA (purple line), the upper trendline, and the 114.00 level. At the moment, those factors have been holding the price back, but a break out of that zone could accelerate the bullish momentum on the pair all the way towards the 116.00 level. Anyways, for that to happen the Dollar would have to continue gaining strength and the Yen would have to be pressured by a rise in risk appetite. To the downside, the 112.00 level could act once again as a support, but the 200 day EMA (blue line), could act as a better support.
