Uptrend, extending · RSI 71 · price 161.283
Higher highs into multi-decade peak zone.
USDJPY has run a four-month uptrend off the February 152.50 base, with price above a rising EMon(50) throughout; a March–May consolidation between 158–160 gave way to a fresh leg higher in June as the hawkish-Fed dot-plot repricing widened the rate gap and overwhelmed the BoJ's 1% hike. Last week closed at 161.28 after tagging 161.80, leaving the pair pressing the 161.95 2024 peak and the 162.00 psychological line. RSI near 70 reflects genuine overbought conditions at this scale, into a level flagged as the intervention threshold.
Support: 160.00
Resistance: 161.95, 162.00
What it said to watch
Daily close above 161.95 opens the 162–163 zone but sits in the intervention-risk band
A close back below 160.00 round number would stall the breakout extension
Tokyo CPI Jun 25 could shift the BoJ-tightening read and the JPY-side bias
21:01 UTC
Uptrend, grinding higher · RSI 72 · price 161.283
Higher highs, breakout above 160 range.
Multi-month uptrend off the February 152 low, with price holding above a rising EMR(50) the entire stretch. After eight weeks capped under 160.50, the pair broke higher in recent sessions on the hawkish-Fed repricing that widened the US-Japan rate gap, pushing toward the 2024 peak at 161.95. RSI in the low 70s flags stretched conditions as price approaches the 162.00 psych line.
Support: 159.65
Resistance: 161.95, 162.00
What it said to watch
D1 close above 161.95 2024 peak opens the path toward the 162-163 zone
MoF intervention risk near 162.00 could trigger a sharp squeeze back toward the 159.65 swing low
