FX.co ★ Ichimoku cloud indicator analysis on USDJPY for August 22nd, 2023.

USDJPY is trading around 145.70. In the 4 hour chart trend according to the Ichimoku cloud indicator remains bullish as price is still above the cloud. However price is now challenging the tenkan-sen (red line indicator) and the kijun-sen (yellow line indicator). A close below 145.76 will be a sign of weakness. Price is vulnerable to a move towards the Kumo support at 145.05. The Chikou span (black line indicator) is very close to turning bearish, by breaking below the candlestick pattern. In the 4 hour USDJPY chart we get several warning signs that increase the chances of a short-term trend reversal. If price breaks inside the Kumo then the trend will change to neutral from bullish. Traders need to be very cautious.
