USD/JPY Breaks 200-Day MA, Eyes 155.03 Support

USD/JPY has slipped decisively below its 200-day moving average, marking one of the pair's most significant bearish reversals this year. The break confirms a shift in short-term momentum as sellers take control after months of range-bound trade near the yen's weaker extremes.

The 158.04/50 zone now stands as the immediate battleground. A failure to reclaim this level on any oversold bounce would open the door toward 155.03, with 153.84 acting as the next structural floor if downside pressure persists.

Traders watching momentum indicators should note that while a technical bounce is plausible given the speed of the decline, the broader trend has clearly turned lower unless price action reclaims territory above the 200-day average convincingly.
