USD/JPY trades around 143.90 on Friday. Analysis of the daily chart shows that the pair is positioned below a downtrend line, suggesting a bearish bias. However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains slightly above 30, indicating that the bearish trend may continue.

On the downside, the USD/JPY pair may navigate the region around the seven-month low of 141.69, which was recorded on August 5. A break below this level could drive the pair toward the throwback support level at 140.25.

In terms of resistance, the USD/JPY pair may test the immediate barrier at the downtrend line around the psychological level of 145.00, followed by the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at the 145.74 level. A breakthrough above the nine-day EMA could support the pair to explore the region around the throwback-turned-resistance at 154.50 level.
