The daily chart shows that the bounce from the January’s low has coincided with what it’s happening in the SP500. Keep in mind that the yen is considered as a safe haven currency, hence it tends to appreciate in an environment of increased risk. The pair is approaching its local resistance nearby 111.5/111.8. The local lows from October 2018 might be found there as well.

In the short-term the pair keeps moving within the bullish channel. The H4 chart suggests that the first notable support could be found in the vicinity of the 50SMA. Of course, the upper bound of the channel is likely to be an obstacle for bulls too. The SMA200 along with the lower bound of the channel could be treated like the second important support for the pair.
