While USD/JPY falls steeply today, it’s still holding above 149.17 support. Intraday bias remains neutral for the moment. On the upside, decisive break of 151.93 resistance will confirm resumption of long term up trend. However, firm break of 149.17 will be a sign of bearish reversal and bring deeper fall to 147.28 support first.
In the bigger picture, immediate focus is now on 151.93 resistance (2022 high). Rejection by 151.93, followed by sustained break of 145.06 resistance turned support will argue that rise from 127.20 has completed, and turn outlook bearish for 137.22 support and below. However, sustained break of 151.93 will confirm resumption of long term up trend. Next target will be 61.8% projection of 102.58 (2021 low) to 151.93 from 127.20 at 157.69.
