USD/JPY Technical Analysis: finds acceptance below symmetrical triangle, seems vulnerable

   •  Overnight recovery attempt was sold into near the key 110.00 psychological mark, coinciding with a short-term symmetrical triangular formation on the 4-hourly chart.

   •  The fact that the pair remains below 50, 100 & 200-period SMA on the said chart reinforces overnight bearish breakdown and prospects for an additional near-term downside.

   •  Short-term technical indicators have struggled to move back into positive territory and add credence to the negative outlook.
