Stochastic oscillator: The indicator has entered the overbought area and is about to cross below to send a short signal. The yen has the momentum to appreciate in the short term, and wait for the short signal to be clear before paying attention to short opportunities. Resistance line: The USD/JPY price fell below the key resistance price of 157.34 yesterday, and the upward trend may end. Currently, it is blocked by the support line of 156.390 below, and the exchange rate is likely to break through this resistance and look at the purple 13-day MA below. USDJPY 1-hour Chart Analysis

Stochastic oscillator: The fast line enters the oversold area, followed by the slow line, which shows that the exchange rate is still in a downward trend. Before the indicator shows a bottom divergence pattern, the bearish trend is still dominant. MA support: USD/JPY price currently fell below the green 200-period MA during the Asian session, and there is a probability of consolidation in the short term. After the exchange rate returns to the downward trend line, pay attention to whether the downward trend will continue. USDJPY Pivot Indicator
