Today Technical Analysis: The Japanese Yen continues to weaken against major currencies

December 22, 2025, 07:50

USDJPY Technical Analysis

USDJPY remains in a broader bullish trend on the 1H timeframe, but the latest price action shows signs of near term consolidation after failing to sustain a breakout above the 157.80–158.00 region. Price continues to trade above the 30-period moving average, indicating that the primary trend is still intact.

MACD is still slightly negative, while the MACD line is attempting to curl higher, signaling that downside momentum is weakening. As long as USDJPY holds above the 156.80–157.00 support zone, the bullish structure remains valid, with another attempt toward 158.00 likely. A sustained break below 156.50 would weaken the bullish bias and open the door for a deeper corrective move.

Gold Technical Analysis

Gold is displaying strong bullish momentum on the 1H timeframe after breaking decisively above the previous consolidation range and recording a new record high $4,409 level. Price action is firmly trading above all key moving averages, with the 5 and 10 MAs sharply angled upward, confirming strong trend acceleration.

The market has transitioned from consolidation into trend continuation, with former resistance around $4,350–$4,370 now acting as a key support zone.

MACD has crossed into positive territory, with the MACD line pulling away from the signal line, indicating strengthening upside momentum.

As long as gold holds above the $4,350 area, the bullish bias remains dominant, with scope for further extension toward $4,450 and beyond.

S&P500 Technical Analysis

The S&P 500 is recovering steadily from last week’s low, forming a constructive higher-low structure on the 1H chart. Price has reclaimed the short-term moving averages and is now trading above the 30-period moving average, which has begun to flatten and turn slightly higher.

MACD confirms improving momentum, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line. Immediate resistance is located around 6,880–6,920, where prior selling emerged. A clean break above this zone would confirm trend continuation, while a failure below 6,780 would be the first signal that upside momentum is fading.
