USD/JPY Bid Fails To Test '24 High

JPY

{JN} JPY: USD/JPY trades as high as Y150.81 but holds below the ’24 high (Y150.89)

  • The move higher in global yields has weighed on the JPY.
  • Our technical analyst has noted that the trend outlook for the pair remains bullish and the latest pause appears to be a bull flag formation.
  • A break of the early ’24 peak would expose the Nov ’23 highs and increase the risk of intervention out of Tokyo.
  • Recent moves have triggered increased vigilance and comments on the part of the Japanese authorities.
