USD/JPY – 30M – SELL

The 30-minute USD/JPY signal is firmly bearish, reinforced by a cluster of trendline, momentum, and volatility indicators. The Trendline Retreat Down followed by a Trendline Break Down confirms a breakdown of the recent ascending structure, while the BOP Zero Cross Down and HT PHASOR Inphase Cross Down indicate deteriorating buying pressure. The MACD Signal Cross Up and BBANDS LOWER Retreat Up suggest short-term oversold conditions that may cause a brief pullback, but the SAR Flip Bullish and HT TRENDMODE Mode to Trend align with the broader bearish outlook.

Across timeframes, the bias is consistently lower, with solid bearish trends on the 8H, 12H, and 1D charts, while the 30M and 1H are forming bearish trends. The 2H and 4H are choppy but still bearish, indicating the sell-off has room to continue. Key levels to watch are resistance at 159.48100 and support at 159.17700. A break below support could accelerate the decline, while a move above resistance would invalidate the bearish setup.
