Japanese Yen Price Chart – USD/JPY Weekly

Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; USD/JPY on TradingView

USD/JPY has been testing a key resistance zone for the past four weeks at 147.69-148.73- a region defined by the 2022 high-week close and the high-close. Despite breakouts in the US Dollar and the 10-year treasury yields, USD/JPY has remained capped by this key threshold. Looking for a reaction of this zone – watch the weekly close.

A topside breach exposes the 1989 high / 1986 low at 151.90-152. Initial support rests along the 2020 parallel (currently ~145.70s) backed by near-term bullish invalidation at the 145-handle. Stay nimble here into the close of the month.
