USDJPY Technial Analysis:

USDJPY is currently rising but still does not have a clear trend. A death cross formed on Fri 13th, January 2023; however, the pattern did not affect the price much. The price surged by 8.18% from the last low at $127.849 and formed a new swing high at $137.915 on Wed 8th, March. Here, the RSI formed a Bearish Regular Divergence pattern signifying the bearish trend is due.

However, the sellers were seen rushing into the trade, pushing the price down by almost $5.95%. The price crossed below both the 200 and 50MA, signaling the bearish pressure in the market. Currently, the price is on the rise forming higher highs and higher lows while respecting the bullish trend line. The RSI line is at 57.37, showing a slightly overbought condition.

Traders must wait for the price to either breach the bullish trend line for SELL confirmation or break a successful break of the swing high at $137.915 for BUY.
