USD/JPY Forecast: 156.13/50 Wall Tested After Hawkish Fed
Created on
Last updated
USD/JPY has pushed directly into the 156.13/50 resistance band, a level now central to any near-term forex forecast on the pair. The move follows a hawkish Fed rate decision that reaffirmed the dollar's yield advantage over the yen, giving bulls control of the pair's short-term trajectory.
Bearish RSI divergence is building on the daily chart even as price grinds higher, a classic warning that momentum is failing to confirm the latest leg up. Forecasters watching this divergence flag 155.45 as the critical downside trigger; a break there would shift the near-term bias from continuation to reversal.
Until that level gives way, the path of least resistance stays higher, with 156.50 acting as the immediate ceiling for bulls to clear.
