The USD/JPY pair sustained its losses as anticipated in the previous technical report, surpassing the official targets set at $143.90 and reaching its lowest level at $140.95.
From a technical perspective today, signs point towards the potential continuation of the downward trend. This is supported by the ongoing formation of simple moving averages exerting strong negative pressure on the price from above. Additionally, the pair has successfully confirmed the breach of the support level at $142.40.
Therefore, our belief is that the pair may persist in its decline, especially if the price falls below $140.95, with a target set at $139.70, the next official station, as long as trading remains stable below $142.40.
It is essential to note that consolidation above $142.40 could lead to a temporary recovery for the pair, allowing it to revisit $144.75.
