USD/JPY continued to trade lower. Pair was last at 145.91 levels, OCBC's FX analysts Frances Cheung and Christopher Wong note.

Bullish momentum on daily chart shows signs of fading

"The Bloomberg headline that US discussed FX with South Korea spilled over to other USD/Asia, including USD/JPY. Recall that Finance Minister Kato said he will seek an opportunity to discuss currency matters with US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent when the 2 of them are in Canada for the G7 meeting (in Jun)."

"Although no detail/agenda was made known, the suspicion of FX policy being discussed during bilateral trade talks with the US may weigh on USD. Bullish momentum on daily chart shows signs of fading while RSI fell further."

"Support is at 144.40 (23.6% fibo). Resistance at 147.10 (38.2% fibo retracement of 2025 high to low), 148.40 and 149.40/70 levels (50% fibo, 200 DMA). We kept our short USD/JPY (entered at 148 (as per FX Weekly on Mon), targeting a move towards 141. SL at 151."
