USD/JPY trades at 159.359 after gaining 41 pips from Monday's open, with Tokyo inflation data and US GDP the key tests ahead.
SOLUSD opened Monday at 85.10 and closed Friday at 84.23, dropping 87 cents or 1.0% over the five sessions. The pair peaked Thursday at 87.70 before Friday's sharp reversal erased the week's gains.
The week starting May 25 brings no scheduled economic events for SOLUSD. With an empty calendar, price action will depend on broader crypto market flows and Friday's support at 84.23.
The absence of data releases means technical levels take priority. Last week's volatility created clear reference points: Thursday's high at 87.70 and Friday's low at 83.83.
If SOLUSD reclaims 86.00 early in the week, the Thursday high at 87.70 becomes the next test. A break above that level would put focus on the 88.00 round number. If Friday's close at 84.23 fails as support, the next meaningful level sits at 83.37, last Monday's low.
Current positioning shows 60.2% of traders long and 39.8% short as of Sunday morning. This 20-point long skew suggests many traders are still positioned for upside despite Friday's selloff. If price continues lower, these longs could add selling pressure through stop losses.
Three levels stand out for the week ahead. First, 84.23 where we closed Friday acts as immediate support. Second, 86.00 served as both resistance and support last week. Third, 87.70 marks Thursday's high and the week's peak.
