USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Corrective slide pauses near a horizontal resistance-turned-support

   •  The pair continued with its struggle to build on the momentum further beyond the 114.00 handle and was now being capped by a fresh wave of risk-aversion trade 

   •  Overbought conditions on hourly/daily charts turned out to be one of the key factors prompting some long-unwinding trade amid concerns over Italy's budget proposals.

   •  The corrective slide dragged the pair below 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the 112.56-114.06 up move, with bulls trying to defend the 113.60 resistance turned support. 

   •  Failure to defend the mentioned support might trigger some more weakness and pave the way for an extension of the corrective slide towards the 50% Fibonacci retracement level support.
