Market Analysis

USD/JPY hovers above the 162.00 psychological zone, where a descending triangle base, Fibonacci 50% retracement, and Ichimoku cloud bottom all collide—if this floor breaks, bears have room toward 161.30–160.80

Key Indicators

  • Technically, the overall momentum remains bullish. Nevertheless, a healthy pullback and consolidation are anticipated as the pair struggles to extend the upside momentum.


Fundamental Context


For the rest of the week, the main drivers of USDJPY remain the US dollar's movement, Fed policymakers' comments, geopolitical tensions, and the June US retail sales report.

Risk Alert

The overall structure is still bullish; any downside move looks like a pullback, not a trend change.
