USD/JPY hourly chart analysis

USD/JPY is in a powerfully bullish trend on the hourly chart, driven by a recent explosive gap and rally, and is currently consolidating near its highs with an extremely overbought RSI. The hourly chart shows a market completely dominated by buyers following a massive gap up and a steep, sustained rally that has pushed the price above the key 150.00 psychological level. This impulsive move is confirmed by a bullish "golden cross" of the moving averages and a Relative Strength Index (RSI) deep in overbought territory with a reading above 80.

Hourly Chart

USD/JPY daily candle chart analysis

USD/JPY has experienced a massive bearish rejection from the top of its long-term range, with the daily chart showing a significant 'bull trap' or 'failed breakout' as the price falls sharply back into its multi-month consolidation zone. The pair remains locked in a multi-month sideways rectangle pattern between the major resistance near 148.70 and support at 143.90. The recent volatile spike above this range was aggressively reversed, leaving a long upper wick—a powerful bearish signal. This rejection was strengthened by the flat 200-day SMA, which acted as a formidable ceiling. The flat nature of all key moving averages confirms the market's long-term indecision, and the price is now falling back into this neutral cluster. Following this powerful rejection, the immediate outlook has turned bearish within the context of the range.
