USD/JPY’s fall from 158.86 short term top resumed by breaking through 154.77 today. Intraday bias is back on the downside for 38.2% retracement of 139.57 to 158.86 at 151.49. Sustained break there will suggest that whole rally from 138.57 has completed already. For now, risk will stay on the downside as long as 156.74 resistance holds, in case of recovery.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 161.94 are seen as a corrective pattern to rise from 102.58 (2021 low). The range of medium term consolidation should be set between 38.2% retracement of 102.58 to 161.94 at 139.26 and 161.94. Nevertheless, sustained break of 139.26 would open up deeper medium term decline to 61.8% retracement at 125.25.
