USD/JPY hourly chart analysis

In the short term, the FX pair is currently trading below its key simple moving averages (SMAs), such as the 50-day and 100-day averages. This technical positioning often signals a continuation of bearish momentum, as it reflects sustained downward pressure in recent trading sessions. The inability to reclaim these moving averages may suggest that the pair lacks the strength for a meaningful recovery in the near term. As a result, a further move to the downside appears plausible, with the 140.00 level emerging as a potential support target.

USD/JPY daily candle chart analysis

A long-term descending channel may be forming, suggesting a continued bearish trend. If the pattern holds, the price could stay within the channel and gradually move toward the key support level at 140.000. Traders should watch for reactions near the channel boundaries, as a break below support could confirm further downside, while a breakout above the channel may signal a trend reversal.
