USD/JPY's Bias Favors Bearish Breakout, Charts Show
Wednesday, 17 September 2025 07:45 WIB | USD/JPY | Yen

USD/JPY's bias favors a bearish breakout, based on technical charts, StoneX's Matt Simpson says in a commentary. The one-hour chart shows the currency pair's bearish momentum quickening into its lows, the senior market analyst notes.

The so-called "cumulative volume delta" has stayed deeply negative, signaling most trades were bearish, Simpson says. While market participants should be on guard for near-term bounces of USD/JPY heading into the FOMC decision, the technical bias favours a bearish breakout overall, he says. A daily break beneath 145.75 opens up prospects of a further fall toward the 144.00 level, Simpson adds. USD/JPY is 0.1% lower at 146.28.
