USD/JPY H1 timeframe possible move
π(Not a signal)π
(Trade at your own risk)
Price is currently rejecting from the 159.5β160.0 resistance zone and breaking below the short-term structure, indicating bearish momentum in the near term. The trendline support below around 158.0 becomes the key level to watch, as a bounce there could trigger the projected bullish reversal. If that support holds, a recovery toward 159.5+ is likely; otherwise, a clean break lower would extend the downtrend.
