Uptrend, pressing 160 zone · RSI 66 · price 160.324
Higher highs above broken 160.00.
USDJPY ground sideways near 159.90 for most of the week before a sharp NY-session push cleared the 160.00 intervention zone, USD still firm after Friday's blowout NFP revived Fed-hike odds. Price has held above 160.00 since the break and extended into the Sunday reopen toward the 160.354 week high, RSI(14) elevated but not yet stretched. The round 160.00 figure now sits below price as the immediate battleground given standing MoF jawboning.
Support: 160.00, 159.834
Resistance: 160.354
What it said to watch
Sustained H1 acceptance above 160.00 keeps the 160.354 week high in play
Loss of 160.00 reopens the 159.834 swing low
US CPI Jun 10 and BoJ Jun 16 are the binary risks into this read
Any decisive extension past 160 raises MoF intervention risk
USD/JPY broke clear of the 159.85–160.00 range during Friday's NY session, spiking to a 160.34 week high after the blowout NFP print rebuilt USD longs. Price has since consolidated just under that high and holds above EMA(20) and EMA(50), with the thin weekend open bars sitting around 160.31. The 160.00 intervention threshold now acts as the structural floor; supply has capped each push toward 160.34.
Support: 160.00, 159.85
Resistance: 160.34, 160.30
What it said to watch
Sustained hold above 160.00 keeps the breakout intact; a close back below it reopens the 159.85 area
US CPI Tue 12:30 UTC is the next directional decider — soft print risks an outsized pullback from 160
Decisive break above 160.34 raises live MoF intervention risk near the highs
USD/JPY broke above the 160.00 intervention zone during the NY session, surging out of the 159.83 consolidation that had capped price all week on firm USD post-NFP and a wide rate gap. The breakout high at 160.34 stalled with RSI elevated, and price now holds above 160.00. The week's prior range floor near 159.75 remains the downside reference.
Support: 160.00, 159.83, 159.75
Resistance: 160.34
What it said to watch
H1 close back below 160.00 negates the breakout and re-opens the range floor at 159.83
160.00 is the MoF intervention threshold — verbal warnings or a sharp snap-back risk above it
US CPI Tue 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read
