USDJPY Technical Analysis
Analyzing the daily USD/JPY chart, the pair bounced lower from a descending trendline, with the 52-day moving average acting as strong support. The key support level lies at 142.20, and the pair is moving within a narrowing triangle pattern. The range seems to be tightening.
President Trump’s unilateral tariff announcement has rattled markets. However, relief was seen following the U.S.-China trade agreement.
Meanwhile, Middle East tensions are creating a strong risk-off mood. Crude oil has surged, and gold is also rising. This makes it difficult for USD/JPY to gain upside traction.
For now, a narrow range is expected to continue, with resistance near the 145 yen area and support around 142 yen.
