No change in USD/JPY’s outlook. Deeper decline is expected with 160.25 support turned resistance intact. Fall from 161.94 is seen as corrective the five-wave rally from 140.25. Sustained break of 55 D EMA (now at 157.71) will affirm this bearish case. Next target will be 38.2% retracement of 140.25 to 161.94 at 163.65.
In the bigger picture, long term up trend is still in progress. Further rise is expected as long as 154.53 support holds. Next target is 100% projection of 127.20 (2023 low) to 151.89 (2023 high) from 140.25 at 164.94. However, sustained break of 154.53 will raise the chance of larger scale correction and target 140.25/151.89 support zone.
