FX.co ★ Forecast for USD/JPY on December 5, 2022

Last Friday, the USD/JPY pair fell by 104 points, and so the pair did not reach the target level of 133.10 that was set by the embedded line of the price channel. Now the price has two options: to continue working on the support or to move up from the current levels in a correction in order to reach the target resistance level of 135.2, or to 137.00, and turn around to 133.10, but with an attempt to cross it and fall to 130.41. This level coincides with the August 2 low.

A price convergence with the Marlin oscillator in this form, unfortunately, does not provide any advantage to any of the scenarios so it can remain at 133.10 from the current levels.

On the four-hour chart, the price settles under the level of 135.25. The Marlin oscillator is rising, but it is still in the negative territory. In order for the price to continue rising, it needs to settle above 135.25. By that time Marlin will be in the positive territory. Resistance at 137.00 is reinforced by the MACD indicator line, so the fate of the decline from October 21 may be decided here.
