USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Intraday positive move runs into some resistance near 100-hour SMA

   •  Despite Friday's sharp intraday pullback, the pair showed some resilience below the very important 200-day SMA and managed to regain traction at the start of a new trading week. 

   •  The mentioned support, currently near mid-111.00s, might now act as a key pivotal point for the pair's next leg of a directional move and an important trigger for bearish traders.

   •  Meanwhile, the intraday up-move ran into resistance near the 100-hour SMA, though bullish oscillators on the 1-hourly/daily charts support prospects for some dip-buying interest.

   •  However, any subsequent up-move is likely to confront fresh supply near another confluence barrier near the 111.85 region ahead of the latest FOMC policy update on Wednesday.

   •  The said barrier comprises of 200-hour SMA and a short-term descending trend-line, which if cleared should pave the way for a further near-term appreciating move for the major.
