USDJPY held a tight 160.50 range for most of the window, then broke down hard through the 160.00 pivot during NY hours, printing 159.86 — a notable reversal off the 6-week high near 160.56 with MoF flagged as monitoring intervention. RSI(14) near 27 and price well below EMA20/50; the move stretched and now stalling just above the session low.

Price coiled in a tight 160.45–160.59 range through London and most of NY, then a sharp late-NY flush drove it through 160.40 and swept the 160.00 psych level to a 160.028 low, RSI(14) diving into oversold near 31. Recovery to 160.11 has stalled below the 160.284 bounce high; the prior range structure is now broken.
