USD/JPY hourly chart analysis

The 142.2500 support level may serve as a critical point in determining the next direction for the market. Holding above this level could indicate temporary stabilization and may limit further bearish pressure, suggesting a potential pause or reversal in the downtrend.
If support is decisively broken, it would likely confirm continued bearish momentum, paving the way for a deeper move toward the next key support around 140.600. A break below 142.2500 could also trigger increased selling interest, reinforcing the bearish outlook in the near term.
