Brian, greetings to all of you!
Today, USDJPY continued to maintain a downward trend, with the resistance level at 149.64 still unable to be overcome. Currently, it is trading at 148.96, experiencing a 0.22% decrease for the day.
However, USDJPY still retains its allure, as the upward channel is still functioning well. Moreover, USD/JPY has received support from a slight decrease in Japan's CPI index. The annual consumer price index (CPI) for Tokyo increased by 2.8% in September, slightly lower than the previous 2.9%. The core CPI (YoY) rose by 3.8%, corresponding to the 4.0% in August.
The price level of 148.42 may be retested and play a significant role as a support level.
