- Tweezers bottom’ pattern formed at 146.54 signals potential short-term trend reversal.
- RSI flattens, suggesting bearish momentum is losing steam.
- Key upside resistance seen at 148.00; clearance opens the door toward Senkou Span A at 149.79.
The USD/JPY rises as trade tensions loom due to back-and-forth tariff rhetoric between Canada and the United States (US), which initially weighed on the US Dollar. Nevertheless, as both countries agreed to lift tariffs, the pair advanced and traded at 147.77, up 0.34%.
USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
USD/JPY formed a ‘tweezers bottom’ two candle chart pattern near the year-to-date (YTD) low of 146.54, hinting that the downtrend seems overextended after dropping from around 158.00 toward the current exchange rates. Despite being bearish, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is flat, indicating that selling pressure is fading.
For a bearish continuation, USD/JPY needs to clear the YTD low of 146.54. If surpassed the next stop would be the September 30 swing low of 141.64, followed by the September 16 low of 139.58.
Conversely, if USD/JPY climbs above 148.00 a rally towards testing the Senkou Span A at 149.79 is on the cards.
