By Steve O'Hare Last updated Feb 18, 2026

USDJPY trading within triangle formation.

Weekly: Price action continues to trade within a large triangle formation. The sideways consolidation has continued despite the significant spike lower to 104.65. A re-test of the top of the triangle is expected before the next drive lower.

Daily: Trading within a short term corrective phase. Trend line resistance is expected to cap gains with the return of dollar bears.

Action:

We look to Sell at 112.60

Stop: 114.60

Target: 108.00 & 105.00
