USD/JPY reversed after edging higher to 146.68 and intraday bias is turned neutral first. Further rise would remain in favor as long as 142.89 minor support holds. Above 146.48 will extend the rebound from 139.57 to 38.2% retracement of 161.94 to 139.57 at 148.11. On the downside, below 142.89 will turn bias to the downside for retesting 139.57 instead.
In the bigger picture, fall from 161.94 medium term top is seen as correcting whole up trend from 102.58 (2021 low). Strong support could be seen from 38.2% retracement of 102.58 to 161.94 at 139.26 to contain downside, at least on first attempt. But in any case, risk will stay on the downside as long as 149.35 resistance holds. Sustained break of 139.26 would open up deeper medium term decline to 61.8% retracement at 125.25.
