Technical analysis shows USD/JPY failing to break above a key resistance level, signaling a potential pullback in the near term.
USD/JPY has encountered resistance at the 0.5 Arc level on the 4-hour chart, halting recent bullish momentum. The pair’s inability to sustain gains near this boundary suggests the upper Arc remains a cap for further upside.
Arc Cycle Analysis indicates the pair may now target support around 158.66, following the rejection at the 0.5 Resistance Arc. Prior attempts to breach this level have similarly stalled, reinforcing its significance as a technical barrier.
No immediate market reaction was specified, but traders are likely monitoring the 158.66 level for confirmation of a downside move.
