• Drifts lower for the third straight session on Friday.
• Neutral set-up warrants caution for aggressive traders.

The USD/JPY pair remained depressed for the third consecutive session on Friday and is currently flirting with a previous resistance, now turned support near the 108.50-45 region.
 
The mentioned region coincides with the 50% Fibonacci level of the 112.40-104.45 downfall, which should act as a key pivotal point and help determine the pair's near-term trajectory.
 
Meanwhile, oscillator on the 4-hourly chart have been losing positive momentum but managed to hold in the bullish territory on the daily chart, warranting caution for bearish traders.
 
However, sustained weakness below the said support now seems to accelerate the slide towards the 108.00-107.90 intermediate support en-route 100-day SMA – around mid-107.00s
 
On the flip side, bulls are likely to wait for a decisive breakthrough the 109.00 handle – nearing the very important 200-day SMA – before positioning for any further positive move.
