USDJPY below psychologically important 150.00 level

The USDJPY fell below the psychologically important 150.00 level. Markets are pricing in a roughly 84% chance of a 25bps hike at the BoJ July meeting, up from a 70% chance at the start of the month. The USDJPY currency pair price action sentiment appears bearish, supported by the longer-term prevailing downtrend.

The key trading level is at 150.80, which is the current swing high. An oversold rally from the current levels and a bearish rejection from the 150.80 level could target the downside support at 149.20 followed by 147.90 and 147.20 levels over the longer timeframe.

Alternatively, a confirmed breakout above 150.80 resistance and a daily close above that level would negate the bearish outlook opening the way for further rallies higher and a retest of 152.30 resistance level followed by 154.40.
