The USD/JPY pair continues its upward movement toward the target level of 149.38, which is signaled by the unclosed gap from July 21. If the price breaks through this resistance, it will open the way to the next target at 151.87 — a level with historical significance dating back to October 2022. This level lies near the upper boundary of the local ascending price channel.
The Marlin oscillator is rising in positive territory. An alternative scenario appears unlikely, as it would require the pair to drop below 146.29.
On the four-hour chart, the price has consolidated above the MACD line.
Currently, the price is retreating while the Marlin oscillator is turning downward. This may indicate a correction or consolidation, with the MACD line (148.22) acting as support. A firm break below this line could deepen the correction down to the 147.53 support, which marks Monday's low.
