USDJPY – Post Intervention Standoff at Demand
NFP Friday, August 7th.
- Price sitting right inside demand (157.652) after BOS broke the long-term uptrend
- Breaker/Inverse FVG above (160.500) = upside target if demand holds
- FVG/SSL below (147.800) = downside target if demand fails
- This is a decision zone — no clear bias yet
Fundamentals
- Coordinated US-Japan intervention hit USD/JPY hard, pulling it off highs
- BOJ holding at 1%, Fed leaning hawkish — rate gap still pressures the yen carry trade
- Intervention seen as a rescue, not a policy reset — could fade fast or repeat
- NFP Friday is the next big catalyst
Plan
- Demand holds + reclaim → longs toward 160.500
- Demand fails → downside opens toward 147.800
- Expect sharp, fast moves — intervention risk, not clean flow
- Stand aside into NFP, trade the confirmed reaction in NY session.
