Uptrend, accelerating into highs · RSI 69 · price 161.283
Chain of higher highs/higher lows since February.
USDJPY is in a four-month uptrend, holding above EMA(50) on D1 throughout and pressing the 2024 peak at 161.95 after a hawkish-Fed week lifted the dollar into 13-month highs. The last week of sessions broke clear of the 160 shelf despite the BoJ's hike to 1%, with the widening US-Japan differential dominating the read. The lone scar in the structure is the early-April flush to 155.56 that was fully reclaimed within two weeks.
Support: 159.65, 159.10
Resistance: 161.95
What it said to watch
Daily close above 161.95 2024 peak opens the path toward the 162-163 zone
Intervention risk is elevated near these levels; a snapback below the 159.65/159.10 swing low cluster would break the recent higher-low chain
Tokyo CPI Jun 25 could shift the JPY read

Uptrend, pressing new highs · RSI 71 · price 161.283
Higher highs / higher lows, breaking prior range top.
Multi-month uptrend off the late-February low at 152.65; after the April 1 flash drop the pair based in a 156-160 range through April-May before June's breakout to fresh highs. Price now brushes the 2024 peak at 161.95, the structural ceiling, with JPY pinned near 40-year lows as the hawkish Fed dot-plot widens the US-Japan differential despite the BoJ's hike to 1%. EMA(50) is rising and price holds well above it, but RSI is stretched into overbought.
