USDJPY : Continues to move sideways above the high price range !

The USDJPY pair continues to trade quietly and seemingly stagnant at record highs, lacking upward momentum. The prevailing trend favors a sideways movement despite signals from the EMA 34 and 89 continuing to support an upward bias.

From a technical standpoint, any further price increase may encounter strong resistance and remain limited near the 152.00 level. The mentioned barrier will act as a key pivot point, and if decisively broken, it would be considered a new catalyst for bullish traders. With oscillators on the daily chart holding in positive territory, the USD/JPY pair could extend the well-established uptrend since January 2023 and climb further towards the psychological level of 153.00.

On the other hand, the overnight low volatility around the 151.00 level seems to be protecting the immediate downside. Any further decline is likely to attract new buyers and still be limited near the support area of 150.25. Keeping an eye on the psychological level of 150.00, a decisive break below it could potentially accelerate the downward correction process for the USD/JPY pair towards the region of 149.35-149.30 en route to the round number of 149.00.
