USD/JPY Technical Analysis: Breaks through an ascending trend-line support, now seems vulnerable

   •  The pair remained capped at the 200-hour SMA for a major part of today's trading session and has now broken below a short-term ascending trend-line support on the 1-hourly chart.

   •  The downfall now seems to get extended towards testing another ascending trend-line support, extending from late-May through lows touched in June and July. 

   •  A follow-through selling would mark a fresh bearish breakdown and pave the way for an extension of the pair's near-term downward trajectory.
