USDJPY remains above the 2024 high at 161.81 and the rising 100-day EMA band<\/a> near 159.93, using a half-standard-deviation envelope. That band has held the broader uptrend well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price continues to make higher highs, while daily RSI<\/a> is making lower highs. The bearish divergence shows weaker momentum, and has preceded a few notable declines on USDJPY – especially when the divergence taps into the overbought region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same setup is repeating now, and 1986’s high at 164.500 would be a critical resistance to watch for this setup to trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If a decline happens, I would first expect ths 100 EMA band to hold. Only when USDJPY closes below the band, followed by weakness through 158 and softer AUDJPY or GBPJPY,<\/strong> would the data provide stronger evidence that yen-funded carry positions are unwinding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of now, AUDJPY and GBPJPY are still holding their 4H-50 EMA (1 standard deviation) bollinger band, but if that breaks, it would be the first short term sign of a strengthening Yen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cooling oil changes the intervention balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

WTI reached its bull-flag target above $90 before falling into its four-hour 50-EMA band and the 76.73-83.99 support region<\/a>. The decline reflects the latest de-escalation move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rebound from this area would keep imported inflation and Fed caution in play. A deeper break would ease pressure on US yields and Japan’s energy bill, strengthening the case for a USDJPY pullback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For now, the trend remains bullish above 161.81 and supported by the 4H-50 EMA band. The next test is whether 164.50 produces a clean breakout or a rejection strong enough to return USDJPY towards 159.93.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
