Due to Stochastic’s hint that Yen is overpriced, joining the bear market at the current price is not advisable. Therefore, traders and investors should wait patiently for the currency pair to consolidate near the upper resistance level, starting with the 151.8 mark.

Traders and investors should monitor this resistance for bearish signals, such as candlestick patterns.

Please note that the USD/JPY trend outlook remains bearish as long as the prices are below the 151.85 mark or the 50-period simple moving average in the 4-hour chart.
