As of writing, the currency pair is trading at 111.15 levels. The spot found bids below 111.00 in Asia, but failed to cut through the 1-hour 50-MA hurdle as the uptick lacked the support of the Treasury yields.

The technicals are aligned in favor of a corrective rally to 112.00 levels. Also, as per Reuters report, sub-111.00 is under surveillance by Japanese importers and investors. So, it would take another wave of curve flatteners (sharp drop in the 10-year treasury yield) to push the pair down to 110.00 levels. As of now, it appears that the road to 110.00 would include a minor rally to 112.00 levels.
