The Japanese Yen remains depressed near a multi-decade low amid the BoJ’s dovish outlook. Reduced Fed rate cut bets lift the USD to a fresh YTD top and further lend support to USD/JPY. Intervention fears and a softer risk tone could help limit deeper losses for the safe-haven JPY.
From a technical perspective, the recent breakout through a short-term trading range hurdle near the 152.00 round figure and the subsequent move up was seen as a fresh trigger for bullish traders. That said, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is flashing overbought conditions, making it prudent to wait for some near-term consolidation or a modest pullback before positioning for any further gains. Meanwhile, any meaningful corrective slide below the 154.00 mark is likely to attract fresh buyers and remain limited near the 153.40-153.35 region.
