Uptrend stalled into consolidation · RSI 53 · price 160.226
Tight range after pullback from session high.
USD/JPY pinned near the 160.00 intervention line; after the early-NY spike down to 159.95 the pair recovered and has coiled into a tight 160.18–160.24 band into the late session, RSI(14) neutral near 53. Volume is thinning as the week winds down, with the 160.37 session high capping above.

Tight consolidation near 160.20 after intraday swing.
Price ran to a session high of 160.37 then flushed to 159.95 on the hot US PPI/CPI mix before recovering; the last several hours are flat consolidation around 160.20 into a thin late-NY tape. Current at 160.226 sits near the 61.8% retrace of that swing, with 160.18 capping the floor and 160.30 the recent ceiling.

Tight consolidation under session high.
USD/JPY is pinned in a tight 160.18–160.245 band after fading from the 160.374 session high, with volume thinning into late-session hours.

Price round-tripped earlier from a 159.95 spike low back into the upper range.
