Uptrend matured, now ranging near highs · RSI 55 · price 159.922
Multi-week consolidation under the 160.50/160.72 ceiling.
USDJPY ran a steady multi-month climb from the 152 February low into the 160 handle, and has spent the last several weeks consolidating between roughly 159.00 and 160.60 while holding above a rising EMK(50) on D1. The early-April spike to 160.72 was sharply rejected, and price has since rebuilt toward that ceiling without clearing it — wide US-Japan rate differentials keep the yen structurally soft near 160. With this week's BoJ decision and the FOMC dot plot due, the range remains the dominant feature.
Support: 159.00
Resistance: 160.60, 160.72, 161.20
What it said to watch
FOMC Wed plus the BoJ decision are the week's dominant catalysts and could reshape this range read
A D1 close above 160.60 opens the path toward the 161.20 cited resistance
Loss of 159.00 would break the recent consolidation floor
Rising lows since Feb, now consolidating below 160.72.
Four-month uptrend off the early-February 152.27 low, price holding above a rising EMA(50) on D1. The advance has stalled into a multi-week consolidation between roughly 159.00 and the 160.72 range high, with the late-April spike to 160.72 still the ceiling. RSI sits mid-range as momentum flattens near the highs; the BoJ hike to 1% is priced and the FOMC decision Wednesday is the week's dominant catalyst.
Support: 159.00
Resistance: 160.72, 161.20
What it said to watch
D1 close above 160.72 range high opens the path toward 161.20 prior cap
Failure to hold 159.00 range floor breaks the multi-week consolidation
FOMC Wed 18:00 UTC and BoJ guidance are the dominant catalysts this week
