USD/JPY tests MA (200) H1

There is a downward trend on the hourly chart of the USD/JPY pair today. After a recent decline to the support level of 139.90, there was an upward rebound, but it was limited by resistance at 143.10, near which the moving average also passes, acting as an additional barrier to growth.

The MACD indicator shows a positive value, which signals the current short-term bullish correction. However, the histogram has already begun to shrink, which may indicate a weakening of the momentum and a possible resumption of the downward movement. The nearest support is at 141.50, the breakdown of which may lead to a retest of the low at 139.90. Resistance is around 143.10. If the price manages to gain a foothold above it, an increase to the next target is possible - 144.30. In general, the main direction remains down, and the current growth is perceived as a correction within a downtrend.

Resistance levels are: 143.10, 144.25, 147.15

Support levels are: 141.50, 139.90, 139.60

The main scenario for the pair's advance implies a breakout of the session low of 141.50 (April 17 low) and a possible decline to 139.90 (April 22 low) 

An alternative scenario suggests a breakout of the session high of 143.10 and there may be an increase to 144.25 (high of the American session on April 11)
