*COMMENTARY: Time spent above the 55-DMA was brief with the break below Y112.86

leaving the pair looking heavy and bears now focused on Y110.83 Nov lows. Bears

now need a close below Y110.83 to shift initial focus to the bear channel base

and overall focus to tests of 2017 lows. Bulls now need a close above Y111.98 to

ease immediate bearish pressure and above the 100-DMA to shift focus back to

Y112.83-113.44 where the 55-DMA and bear channel top are noted.
