As of December 7, the USD/JPY pair has witnessed a downward shift, decreasing by 0.38% to 146.712. The currency pair, within the context of a fluctuating forex market, is currently grappling with key technical levels that will determine its short-term trajectory. It navigates around a pivotal point at 144.72, with immediate resistance placed at 145.75. Subsequent resistance levels are seen at 147.75 and 148.84, posing potential hurdles to upward movements.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for USD/JPY is at 41, indicating a bearish sentiment as it remains below the neutral mark of 50. This suggests the pair is not in an overbought state, leaving scope for potential directional changes. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a slight positive value of 0.02 against a signal line of -0.14, hinting at a subdued bullish momentum.

Notably, the pair is trading below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of 147.06, further underscoring the bearish bias. The observed downward trendline, extending resistance at 147.350, suggests a continuation of this trend. This pattern indicates that the pair could maintain its bearish stance unless it breaches the 147.350 level.

In conclusion, the technical analysis of the USD/JPY pair points to a bearish trend below the 147.350 mark in the short term. The pair's movements will likely be influenced by a combination of technical indicators, chart patterns, and broader market sentiment, focusing on resistance testing if there is a shift in market dynamics.
