USD/JPY: upside continuation or larger drop?

Important Update for RobotFX Visitors

We want to sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused by our recent website restructuring.

The main RobotFX hub has officially moved to our new, streamlined address at robotfx.org (without the "www" prefix). While our main operations have shifted, we want to reassure you that this archives site, old.robotfx.org, will remain fully active. You can still access our complete library of past posts, historical trading analysis, and legacy articles right here.

However, for the latest updates, newer content, and a significantly faster, more optimized browsing experience, we highly recommend heading over to our primary home at https://robotfx.org.

Thank you so much for your continued support and patience as we improve our digital services.

USD/JPY Up Channel!

The USD/JPY pair increased in the short term after ending its strong drop. Now, it is trading at 135.24 at the time of writing. The price action developed an up-channel pattern, a flag formation that could bring a downside continuation.

As you already know from my analyses, 135.58 represented an upside obstacle in the past. So, this level and the channel's upside line are seen as upside obstacles. On the other hand, the channel's downside line represents a downside obstacle. I'll wait for the rate to escape from this pattern before buying or selling.

USD/JPY Trading Conclusion!

Jumping and stabilizing above the 135.58 and above the channel's upside line activates a potential growth towards the 136.68 higher high.

Staying below the upside obstacles and dropping below the minor uptrend line (channel's downside line) validates more declines.
