USD/JPY drops 0.53%, closing below 150.00 as broad USD weakness pressures pair.


Price action below Ichimoku Cloud signals renewed bearish bias; key support seen at 149.35/42.


Break below support may target 148.18 low, while reclaiming 150.00 reopens path toward 151.72 SMA confluence.


The USD/JPY trimmed some of Monday’s gains, losing over 0.53% on Tuesday and dropping below the 150.00 figure as the US dollar weakened across the board. As Wednesday’s Asian session begins, the pair trades at 149.90, virtually unchanged.


USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook


USD/JPY made a U-turn on Tuesday, achieving a daily close below 150.00, which opened the door to hit a daily low of 149.55, slightly above the confluence of the Tenkan and Kijun-sen near 149.35/42. As price action stood below the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo), the downtrend has resumed, but a decisive break below the 149.35/42 range could open the door to challenge the March 20 swing low of 148.18.


On the other hand, buyers reclaiming 150.00, the USD/JPY could be poised to test weekly highs of 150.94, which, if surpassed, could pave the way to test the confluence of the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) at 151.53/72.
