USDJPY Is Cracking — The Uptrend Is No Longer SafeUSD/JPYOANDA:USDJPYCamille_AlertAt this moment, USDJPY is showing a very clear shift in how the market is behaving. Despite recent news still favoring the USD — especially with U.S. interest rates remaining high and safe-haven flows returning — price is no longer extending its bullish momentum like before. This is not the behavior of a strong trend, but a typical sign of a market entering a weakening phase. Looking directly at the chart, the previous bullish structure has been broken as price exited the ascending channel and delivered a strong bearish move with clear momentum. What matters is not just the drop itself, but how price reacted afterward: the bounce is weak, lacks conviction, and fails to reclaim key levels. This suggests that buyers are losing control, while sellers are beginning to take the lead. The zone around 158.8 – 159 is now acting as a new resistance, previously a support. When a level is broken and cannot be reclaimed, it often becomes a point of distribution. In this context, any rally back into that area is more likely to serve as an opportunity for sellers to step in, rather than the start of a new uptrend. More importantly, there is a growing divergence between news and price action. When positive news can no longer push price higher, it often signals that larger players are shifting their positioning. The market does not reflect what is happening — it reflects what is about to happen. And right now, USDJPY is leaning more toward a continuation to the downside rather than a return to its previous bullish trend. In the short term, price is likely to remain under pressure and move toward the lower support zone around 157.3 – 157.6. If this area gets broken, the bearish move will no longer be just a scenario, but a confirmed structural shift. The market always leaves clues before it turns, and USDJPY is starting to reveal them. The real question now is not whether the old trend can continue, but whether you are flexible enough to recognize when the game has already changed.
