21:02 UTC
Uptrend, near 40-yr high · RSI 72 · price 163.592
Higher highs and higher lows since April low.
USDJPY has trended higher for over three months, carving a clean chain of higher highs and higher lows off the late-March 155.49 low, with price holding above a rising EMA(50) throughout. The carry-driven advance has pushed the pair to a near-40-year high just below the 164.00 zone, where intervention rhetoric from Japanese officials is live. RSI(14) is stretched into overbought territory around 71 as the last week consolidated in the 163.20–163.99 band.
Support: 162.80
Resistance: 164.00, 165.00
What it said to watch
D1 close above 164.00 opens the path toward the 165.00 psych level and raises intervention risk
Failure to hold 162.80 support would mark the first lower-low of the run
BoJ decision + Outlook Report 31 Jul and FOMC 29 Jul are the dominant catalysts and could reset this read

Uptrend, extended · RSI 70 · price 163.592
Chain of higher highs and higher lows.
USDJPY has trended higher for the last three months, printing a steady chain of higher highs and higher lows and holding above a rising EMU(50) since the April rebound off 155.00. Carry demand and the wide US-Japan rate gap have carried price into the 164.00-165.00 multi-decade high, the same area MoF has flagged for intervention. RSI near 70 shows the rally stretched but momentum intact into a Fed-BoJ week.
Support: 162.80
Resistance: 164.00, 165.00
What it said to watch
Daily close above 164.00 opens the path to the 165.00 intervention zone
Loss of 162.80 support breaks the higher-low sequence
BoJ decision + Outlook 31 Jul and FOMC 29 Jul are the dominant catalysts this week
Tokyo CPI 30 Jul could revive JPY ahead of the BoJ
