The near-term momentum for the USD/JPY pair has shifted bearish on the 1-hour chart, as the price recently fell below its moving average after failing to sustain a recovery.

Conversely, if buyers successfully defend the 160.197 mark, the market could experience a short-term relief bounce back toward the descending moving average.
