• Yen bulls take a back seat following disappointing GDP figures, GDP growth fell 0.4% in the June quarter, prelim estimate showed on Monday.
  
• US currency also favoured against the yen amid divergent monetary policy outlooks between both c.banks.
  
• USD/JPY currently trades at 124.38 slightly lower from fresh session highs printed at 124.45.
  
• Upside in the pair likely capped by the daily Tenkan, 200-HMA & hourly Cloud top by 124.54, while a close below 124.06 (Session Low Aug 14) would darken the near-term outlook.
