After breaking above 143.00, USD/JPY temporarily rose and paused around 143.70. Attention is now on a potential breakout or pullback formation.
As of April 25, 2025, the 1-hour chart of USD/JPY shows a rebound from the upper 142 yen range to around 143.70. Based on ADX, MACD, and moving averages, this analysis examines the possibility of the bullish trend continuing and proposes future trading strategies.
ADX is currently above 70, indicating a very strong trend. The recent rapid rise suggests strong momentum. If ADX remains at this level, further upside can be expected.

The MACD line has clearly crossed above the signal line, and the histogram has expanded strongly into positive territory. This indicates strong buying momentum, favoring a short-term pullback buy strategy.
Following a strong bullish candle after Tokyo hours, USD/JPY broke through 143.00 resistance and is now consolidating around 143.70. This range-bound phase after a breakout is key to determining the next direction.
In the current situation, traders should be ready for both a short-term dip buying opportunity and a potential new high. Focus on the following levels:
・Whether ADX stays above 70 or begins to decline
・Whether MACD remains bullish
・Whether 143.00 acts as support
・Next resistance zone around 143.80–144.00
Bullish Scenario (Pullback Buy)
Entry: Around 143.30–143.40
Target: 144.00
Stop Loss: Below 143.00
Bearish Scenario (Reversal After Failed Uptrend)
Entry: Below 143.00
Target: 142.50
Stop Loss: Above 143.50
USD/JPY remains technically strong, but short-term overheating suggests caution. Whether 143.00 holds as support will be key in determining the next direction.
