USDJPY Chart Analysis
After encountering resistance at the 157 level, USD/JPY has been in a steady downtrend and is currently hovering around the 149 level. This zone has established a support line, making it difficult to determine a clear direction. If the 149 level holds, a rebound toward 154 is anticipated. Conversely, if it breaks below 149, further declines toward 140 could follow.
