From a technical perspective, the USD/JPY pair has been showing some resilience below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the December-February rally, warranting some caution for bearish traders. That said, the recent breakdown through the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), the formation of a double-top pattern ahead of the 152.00 mark and bearish oscillators suggest that the path of least resistance for spot prices is to the downside.

Hence, any meaningful recovery beyond the 147.00 mark is likely to confront stiff resistance and remain capped near the 100-day SMA support breakpoint, near mid-147.00s. A sustained strength beyond, however, could lift the USD/JPY pair beyond the 148.00 mark, towards testing the next relevant hurdle near the 148.65-148.70 region. The momentum could extend further towards the 149.00 mark en route to the 149.25 horizontal support-turned-resistance.

On the flip side, bears need to wait for acceptance below the 38.2% Fibo. level before placing fresh bets. Some follow-through selling below the 200-day SMA, currently pegged near the 146.30-146.25 region, will mark a fresh breakdown and make the USD/JPY pair vulnerable. The subsequent downfall has the potential to drag spot prices below the 146.00 round-figure mark, towards the 50% Fibo. level, around the 145.60 zone
