USDJPY completes an up and down lap and looks toward the 2025 low

The USDJPY has completed an up-and-down lap that took the pair from the close on Friday Feb 7 at 151.39 to a high last week at 154.79 and back down to the 151.39 level. The price is stalling at a swing area between 151.20 to 151.40 which is ahead of the double bottom from the February 7 low.

If that double bottom can be broken, and stay broken, the door opens for more selling this week that could take the pair to the 50% of the move up from the September low. That level comes in at 149.22.

On the topside, if the low area for 2025 can stall the fall again, a rotation higher can be restarted. However, it would take a move above, the cluster of MAs including the 200-hour MA at 152.468, the 200 day MA at 152.675, the 100-hour MA at 152.93, and the 100 day MA at 153.126 to ultimately swing the bias back to the upside.
