Buy the Dip Era Ends: USD/JPY May Reverse Course Amid Rate Decisions

The USD/JPY pair has been trending bullish for over five years, but recent developments have sparked concerns about a potential larger retracement. The fundamental bias remains tilted to the long side, but the question now is whether a larger correction is ahead.

This week's rate decisions from Japan and the US are expected to bring significant market movements. Scott Bessent, an expert, has previously warned that he knows what the Bank of Japan will do, and this week's meeting may shed more light on his predictions.

The recent trend reversal in the USD/JPY pair has caught the attention of analysts, who point to the potential consequences of a continued sell-off. A cascading USD/JPY with a carry trade unwinding could hit levered trades, such as tech stocks, and even lead to a stock market downturn.
