USD/JPY Chart Analysis After facing resistance at the 159 level, the pair has been on a gradual downtrend. Currently, it is consistently finding support at the 154 level. While it’s difficult to conclude that the previous uptrend has been fully broken, the confidence in a bullish outlook has significantly weakened compared to before.
This week, we will determine the direction based on the 154 and 156 levels. A drop below 154 will indicate a bearish trend, while a breakout above 156 will suggest a bullish trend.
