Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains on the downside for the moment. Current fall from 158.86 is in progress to 139.57 support. On the upside, above 144.18 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral first. But outlook will stay bearish as long as 151.20 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), 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.
