Technical indicators
USD/JPY weekly outlook
For the week of 26 October 2026 · Bias: Leaning bearish
USD/JPY closed last week at 156.821, below the weekly pivot of 157.166. It trades below its 200-session average (157.024), and the RSI stands at 42. The downside is favoured while price stays below 159.693; a rally to R1 at 158.257 is likely to meet selling that takes price back towards the pivot at 157.166, then 155.730. A break above 159.693 would cancel this view.

How this analysis is made
- It is computed from the same price feed Vexoda executes trades on — not data scraped from another site.
- Classic pivots (P, R1–R3, S1–S3) come from the previous session for the daily view and the previous week for the weekly view.
- Support and resistance zones are clustered swing highs and lows; a zone price has reacted to more often carries more weight.
- The bias scores five factors: the close against the 200-session average, the 50/200 average order, the close against the pivot, the RSI and the 4-hour trend.
- Nothing is edited by hand, and the record of previous sessions stays on this page.
