The USD/JPY from the critical level of 160.00.


The currency market reaction was immediate and strong. The USD/JPY pair broke through multiple resistance levels. Technical analysts identified 159.50 as a key barrier, and the pair surpassed this level within two hours of the data release. As a result, focus shifted to the psychological threshold at 160.00, which represents the highest level since 1986. Market participants recall intervention in 1998 at similar levels.

Several technical indicators showed warning signs. The Relative Strength Index reached 78, indicating overbought conditions. Bollinger Bands widened significantly, suggesting increased volatility. Moving averages formed an upward trend. These technical factors supported the continuation of the bullish momentum. However, traders remained cautious about any potential intervention.
