USD/JPY daily candle chart analysis
A sideways trading zone between the 142.100 and 148.700 levels may persist if market participants are unable to establish a clear directional bias. In the absence of strong fundamental catalysts or decisive technical signals, price action could remain range-bound within this channel. This type of consolidation often reflects market indecision, with buyers and sellers maintaining a relative balance, and may continue until a breakout—either upward or downward—provides fresh momentum for the next significant move.
Building on last week, trader sentiment remains balanced, with long positions accounting for 52% and shorts at 48%. There's no clear directional bias in USD/JPY at this time.
