USDJPY - 19 May, Bearish force along H1 trend line

145
USDJPY trend forecast MAY 19 , 2025

💬The USD/JPY pair came under renewed selling pressure on Monday, slipping to a more than one-week low near the 144.80 mark during the Asian session. The prevailing fundamentals suggest that the pair remains biased to the downside, reinforcing the likelihood of a continued pullback from last week's near six-week high.

Fueling the Japanese Yen's strength is mounting speculation that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will deliver another rate hike in 2025. Compounding the bearish tone for the dollar, investor sentiment has been rattled by a surprise downgrade of the US sovereign credit rating. Moody’s cut the US rating by one notch to "Aa1" on Friday, citing rising concerns over the ballooning national debt—a move that has dampened risk appetite and further bolstered demand for safe-haven currencies like the Yen.

💬Moving in a downtrend, forming a liquidity GAP from the sellers at the beginning of the week. Confluence with the downtrend line
