Major Economic Events + January 2: Japan market holiday, U.S. December Manufacturing PMI + January 3: U.S. December ISM Manufacturing PMI
USD/JPY Chart Analysis With the Japanese stock market on holiday and the dollar showing strength, USD/JPY is also on an upward trend. Recently, the pair has consistently tested the 158 level.
If USD/JPY successfully breaks above the 158 level, a further rise toward the 160–161 range is expected. However, if the breakout attempt fails, the pair could retreat to around the 154 level.
While the overall outlook leans bullish, I will quickly revise my strategy should the market shift to a bearish trend.
