• USD/JPY briefly clears 148.00 before reversing, with RSI suggesting seller dominance.
• A drop below 146.27 could trigger further losses, targeting 145.44 and 144.28.
• If USD/JPY reclaims 147.79, resistance levels are at 148.00 and potentially 149.77, with the 200-DMA at 151.46 as a longer-term target.

USD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The USD/JPY is downward biased despite the uptick that saw the pair clear the 148.00 figure and hit a six-day high at 148.22 before reversing its course and tumbling below the Tenkan-Sen at 147.79.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains bearish, hinting that momentum favors sellers.

The USD/JPY could extend its losses if the pair slumps past the August 9 low of 146.27. Once cleared, the next demand zone would be the August 8 low of 145.44, followed by the August 7 bottom at 144.28. Up next would be the last cycle low at 141.69.
