USD/JPY hourly chart analysis

USD/JPY hourly chart shows the market is now directionless and moving sideways. It appears to be trapped in a clear trading range, with a ceiling at the 148.00 resistance level and a floor at the 147.10 support level. The lack of a trend is confirmed by the moving averages, which are all flat and clustered together around the current price.

USD/JPY daily candle chart analysis

The USD/JPY daily chart presents a conflicting picture, where a bullish long-term structure is being challenged by a very strong rejection from a major resistance level. The underlying trend remains bullish, evidenced by a recent "golden cross" of the moving averages and the price holding above all three key SMAs.
