Dow Theory
- Primary trend: The price has been in a downtrend, forming lower highs and lower lows.
- Secondary trend: A recent recovery attempt was seen but faced resistance near the 200-day MA.
- Minor trend: Short-term price action shows signs of selling pressure as it moves below key moving averages.
Volume Analysis
- Volume is unavailable in the image, but price action suggests lack of strong buying momentum.
- Declining volume on rallies suggests weak bullish conviction.
- If volume increases on breakdowns, it could confirm further bearish movement.
Upcoming Events
- Economic data: U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls, CPI, and Japan’s BOJ policy decisions can influence USD/JPY.
- Interest rate decisions: Any change in U.S. Federal Reserve or BOJ policy could create significant movement.
- Geopolitical factors: Risk-off sentiment could favor JPY as a safe-haven currency.
Trend Confirmation
- 50, 150, and 200 moving averages are aligned in a bearish formation, suggesting continued downside.
- RSI (32.86): Approaching oversold territory but still trending lower.
- CCI (-106.38): Suggests strong bearish momentum.
- MACD: Bearish crossover with a declining histogram, indicating continued weakness.
- ADX (22.20): Indicates a weak trend, meaning the market might consolidate before making a decisive move.
Final Takeaway
- Bearish bias dominates as price is trading below moving averages.
- If USD/JPY breaks below 149.00, it could trigger a further downside move.
- A bullish reversal requires a breakout above 150.00 to confirm trend shift.
