USDJPY Returns to Key Support – Another Bounce Ahead?

5 142
At the end of April and beginning of May, I pointed out the importance of the 142 support zone and argued that USDJPY could reverse to the upside, targeting the 146 resistance.

The pair did exactly that — not only hitting the 146 target, but also spiking as high as 148, reaching the next major resistance.

🔁 Now We're Back towards 142

Since mid-May, USDJPY has pulled back again and is now retesting the 142 area — the same zone that previously triggered a strong bounce.

📌 Outlook and Trading Plan

I still consider the 142 level a solid support, and this recent drop could offer a new buying opportunity.

Any dips under 142 that quickly reverse can be used to build long positions, with a target once more around 146.

That offers a clear trade setup with a good risk-to-reward ratio.
