Hello dear friends, USDJPY continues to rise as predicted. However, this currency pair is currently experiencing a pause as it forms a flag pattern. It is currently trading at 149.53, not far from the highest level of 152.00 reached in 2022.
Regarding the market:
This currency pair is receiving support due to the recovery of the US Treasury yields after recent losses, which could strengthen the US Dollar (USD). As of Monday, the 10-year US Treasury bond yield stands at 4.65%, an increase of 1.0%.
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) is expected to intervene in the spot market to prevent the depreciation of the Japanese Yen (JPY). The central bank has adopted a more accommodative stance, weakening the attractiveness of JPY as a safe haven and providing support for the USD/JPY pair.
From an analytical perspective:
The price consolidation indicates the potential for a breakout at any time, with a target of 151.05.
