FX.co ★ Forecast for USD/JPY on March 3, 2023

The yen is moving up so far, according to our main scenario, to the 137.75 target level. But the technical pressure on the pair is increasing every day. The signal line of the Marlin oscillator is being pushed down, against the rising price. The pair might not reach the 137.75 target.

The pair can continue to rise if the dollar continues a massive attack in all markets, including commodities, then the oscillator's decline will transform before it rises further. And then the price could overcome the target level of 137.75 and the rally will continue to reach 138.90 (July 21, 2022 high).

There is a double divergence on the four-hour chart. If the price goes under the MACD line, below the 136.28 mark, it will also correspond to the move of the Marlin oscillator into the downtrend area. The downtrend will be fueled even more, once the price hits the 134.00 target. A full-fledged growth will start once the price surpasses yesterday's high (137.10).
