USD/JPY Weekly Outlook

USD/JPY’s extended decline last week suggests that rebound from 139.87 has already completed at a corrective move to 148.64. Initial bias remains on the downside tis week for retesting 139.87 low. On the upside, above 144.31 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral again first.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 161.94 are seen as a corrective pattern to rise from 102.58 (2021 low), with fall from 158.86 as the third leg. Strong support should be seen from 38.2% retracement of 102.58 to 161.94 at 139.26 to bring rebound. However, sustained break of 139.26 would open up deeper medium term decline to 61.8% retracement at 125.25.

In the long term picture, it’s still early to conclude that up trend from 75.56 (2011 low) has completed. A medium term corrective phase should have commenced, with risk of deep correction towards 55 M EMA (now at 137.17) and even below.
