USDJPY Technical Analysis

Analyzing the daily chart of USD/JPY. Currently, it is fluctuating within the Ichimoku cloud, indicating a tug of war between bullish and bearish pressures, with a slight dominance of the bearish trend.

Particularly noteworthy is the movement below the 72-day moving average. In the Ichimoku chart, the standard line is acting as resistance, and with the price below the conversion line, a shift towards a bearish trend requires attention.

If the Ichimoku cloud is breached at the closing price, it could signal a significant technical shift for the first time in about half a year.
