If the currency pair continues to decline, the 134.50 level might act as support, before the rate reaches the last week's low level zone at 134.25/134.35.

However, a recovery of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen could encounter resistance in the 136.00 level, which might be strengthened by the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages. Higher above, note the 2022 high level of 137.00.
