UsdJpy- Resumption of the up trend (Long term view)

After experiencing a prolonged uptrend in 2023, during which it gained 3000 pips, the mid-November period marked the beginning of a correction for $FX:USDJPY. Over the next six weeks, the pair dropped by 1000 pips, reaching a significant psychological level of 140.

The decline observed from December, however, formed a steep falling wedge, suggesting the potential for a reversal. This reversal indeed occurred as the new year commenced, with the pair breaking above the resistance of the pattern on January 2nd. Subsequent to this breakthrough, the market witnessed consecutive green days, and USDJPY successfully surpassed the crucial technical zone of 143.50-144.

In the past week, the pair consolidated its recent gains and stabilized around the 145 region. The overall long-term trend remains bullish, and the recent low at 140 could signify the conclusion of the correction. In such a scenario, there is the potential for the pair to resume its upward movement, surpassing the recent high of 151.50, and achieving new highs in the coming months.

My bullish sentiment persists as long as the pair remains above 143.
