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.Hourly Chart
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.
Further continuation of previous week, trader sentiment remains balanced, with both long and short positions accounting for 50%. There's no clear directional bias in USD/JPY at this time.
