The USDJPY pair continues to exhibit a robust bearish trend, evident from its price consistently trading below the Moving Average (MA) line on the 1-hour chart. A downward-sloping MA indicates that selling pressure remains dominant in the market, and despite attempts at rebound, they have been short-lived before declining again. This behavior suggests that sellers are still in control, and the downtrend could persist unless a significant reversal signal emerges.

Additional support is provided by the MACD indicator, which is currently below the signal line and in negative territory, confirming the strength of the bearish momentum. The widening gap between the MACD line and the signal line underscores the increasing selling pressure. As long as the price remains below crucial resistance levels and fails to consistently break above the MA, USDJPY is likely to continue its downward trajectory towards the next support level shortly.
