Bearish RSI Divergence Flags USD/JPY Reversal Risk

A bearish RSI divergence has emerged on USD/JPY as price grinds toward the 156.13/50 resistance zone while the momentum oscillator fails to confirm new highs. This divergence pattern is a classic early warning that buying pressure is losing steam.
Such setups often precede short-term corrections, particularly when price is testing a well-defined resistance level simultaneously. The confluence of technical resistance and weakening momentum raises the probability of a pullback scenario.
Confirmation would come from RSI dropping below 50 alongside a break of near-term support, shifting the technical bias from cautiously bullish to neutral-bearish in the sessions ahead.
