USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The downtrend remains intact. Even though the pair was headed to sustain losses, the USD/JPY rallied on risk aversion amidst Iran's attack on Israel. That sponsored a leg-up toward the current exchange rate.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) favors further downside, though its slope is flat. This hints at consolidation ahead. That said, the USD/JPY might trade within the 142.98-144.53 area in the near term.
If buyers clear the top of the range, that will expose the 145.00, followed by the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 145.47. A breach of the latter will expose the bottom of the Kumo at around 147.80-148.00.
Conversely, if USD/JPY tumbles below 142.98, the September 30 cycle low at 141.65 will be exposed. On further weakness, the next stop would be the September 16 pivot low at 139.58.
