The technical outlook for the USD/JPY pair remains unchanged, with negative stability persisting below the robust resistance level at 149.90.
Upon closer inspection of the 4-hour chart, it is evident that the Stochastic indicator has entered overbought territory, coupled with a continued movement below the 50-day simple moving average. This maintains the potential for a downward trend, targeting a retest of 149.00. It’s important to note that a breach below this level would likely prompt the pair to resume its downward corrective path, with an official target of 148.30/148.50.
Conversely, if stability returns to trading around 149.90, it completely negates the activation of the proposed scenario, and an upward trend may unfold with targets set at 150.20 and 150.60, respectively.
