USDJPY (US Dollar / Japanese Yen)
Timeframe: 1-Hour (1H)

Pattern: Rising Wedge

A rising wedge pattern has developed on the 1-hour chart of USDJPY. This pattern is formed by two upward-sloping trendlines that converge as the price continues to make higher highs and higher lows. While the price is trending upward, the narrowing wedge suggests that bullish momentum is weakening, typically signaling a potential reversal.

The rising wedge is considered a bearish pattern, as it often leads to a downside breakout once the price breaks below the lower trendline.

Forecast: Sell

Given the current formation, the forecast recommends a selling opportunity. The price is likely to break down from the rising wedge, leading to a potential reversal and a decline in the pair's value. A confirmed breakdown below the lower boundary of the wedge would signal further bearish momentum.

Technical Outlook:
Resistance Level: The upper boundary of the wedge, where buying pressure could weaken.
Support Level: The lower boundary, where a breakout would trigger a selling opportunity.
Key Levels to Watch: A break below the wedge’s support line would reinforce the bearish forecast, signaling a potential downward move.

Traders should look for confirmation through bearish candlestick patterns or increased selling volume to validate their short positions.

Monitor for key economic indicators, particularly US dollar movements influenced by Federal Reserve policies or safe-haven demand for the Japanese yen, which could impact this pair’s direction.
