USD/JPY Price Forecast: Edges up amid rising US yields, yet remains bearish

  • USD/JPY stays under Ichimoku Cloud and 200-DMA at 151.22, maintaining downtrend with easing selling pressure.
  • RSI trends upward, suggesting a potential short-term rally if USD/JPY surpasses 145.00.
  • Resistance levels at 146.42 (Tenkan-Sen), 147.91 (Senkou Span A), and 149.39 (August 15 high).
  • Below 144.00, key support at 141.69; further drop could target psychological 140.00 level.

The Japanese Yen (JPY) lost ground against the Greenback on Monday as the USD/JPY pair edged up 0.13% amid an uptick in US Treasury bond yields. At the time of writing, the pair was at 144.59 after bouncing off daily lows of 143.44.

USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

 The USD/JPY downtrend is intact as the exchange rate remains below the Ichimoku Cloud and the 200-day moving average (DMA) at 151.22. Nevertheless, sellers are losing some momentum, as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), remaining bearish, yet aiming up. That could pave the way for a leg-up before testing lower prices.

If USD/JPY clears 145.00, the next resistance emerges at the Tenkan-Sen at 146.42, followed by the Senkou Span A at 147.91. Further upside is seen at the confluence of the Kijun-Sen and the August 15 daily high of 149.39.

Conversely, if USD/JPY slumps below the 144.00 figure and the pair could tumble towards the latest cycle low seen at 141.69, before challenging 140.00.
