An additional signal favoring a decline in the USD/JPY pair would be a test of the resistance line on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). A second signal would be a rebound from the upper boundary of the “Triangle” pattern. The scenario predicting a decline in the USD/JPY pair would be invalidated by a strong rally and a breakout above the 160.05 level. Such a move would indicate a breakout of the resistance area and continued growth for the pair, likely extending the rise beyond the 162.65 level. Confirmation of the price decline should be expected upon a breakout of the support level and price consolidation below 157.35; this would signal a break of the “Triangle” pattern’s lower boundary and the onset of the pattern’s downside targets.
