Highlights

USD/JPY trades at ¥156.61, remaining above key moving averages (MA-20 ¥156.25, MA-50 ¥155.96, MA-200 ¥150.12), signaling sustained bullish momentum.
Technical indicators such as MACD (strong buy), RSI at 54.19, and a positive BBP of 0.32 confirm ongoing buyer dominance and steady upward pressure.
With immediate support at ¥156.10 and resistance at ¥157.00, there is over 80% probability for further gains, while a break below ¥156.10 could target ¥155.30.

Buyer dominance confirmed as technical momentum remains stable

Momentum indicators point to strong buyer interest: the MACD signals a strong buy, while the ADX remains neutral at 11.94, indicating stable momentum without strong trend conviction. The RSI is at 54.19 and not overbought, and the Stochastic RSI signals a buy but shows some mild intraday divergence with readings between oversold and neutral. BBP stands positive at 0.32, confirming buyer dominance, and the Awesome Oscillator supports the prevailing bullish sentiment. Immediate support is noted near the Kijun level at ¥156.10, with initial resistance found at the MA-50 at ¥155.96 and the key round number of ¥157.00.

High probability of further gains as range consolidation prevails

In the short term, USD/JPY is expected to trade within a typical volatility band of ¥155.30 to ¥157.00 over the coming week. There is a very high probability, exceeding 80%, of further upside, while a decline is considered much less likely. The baseline scenario points to consolidation just below resistance, while a bullish breakout above ¥157.00 is possible if strong multi-timeframe buy signals persist. A bearish scenario would require a breach below support at ¥156.10, potentially leading to a move toward ¥155.30.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees strong bullish momentum for USD/JPY, underpinned by clear technical strength and solid buyer interest. He believes price action near the recent range highs and above key moving averages suggests positive sentiment will persist in the short term. Consolidation just below ¥157.00 is likely, with a bullish breakout remaining the dominant scenario unless support at ¥156.10 is breached. "With momentum favoring the bulls and no fresh macro shocks, I expect further upside as long as buyers defend the ¥156.10 level."

Previously it was reported that USD/JPY is trading slightly above key moving averages, underscoring a bullish structure across short, medium, and long-term timeframes, with momentum indicators such as MACD signaling continued buy strength and RSI remaining mildly positive. The pair is expected to consolidate above key support near ¥156, with resistance around ¥157 likely to attract further upside interest, while overall trend strength is moderate amid low volatility.
