USDJPY Smart Money Analysis – Bearish Outlook

88
After a confirmed 1-hour bearish divergence @149.202, price initiated a downward structure. We saw a bounce from a bearish 4H Order Block (OB) @147.356, but this bounce did not invalidate the initial bearish divergence structure.

Price then broke below that 4H OB slightly, before retracing back into the same OB zone, forming another 4H bearish OB at that level, indicating reinforced institutional interest. This was followed by a clean CHoCH @146.943, confirming further bearish pressure.

Price reacted next from a bullish 4H OB @146.496, initiating a short-term retracement.

📌 Expectations:

🔁 We expect price to retrace back into the newly created 4H bearish OB @147.626, which is a refined point of interest.

📉 If that level holds as expected, the bearish move is likely to continue towards the next bearish OB sitting around 145.148, which is a potential demand exhaustion zone.
