USD/JPY Hits Psychological Resistance Amid Intervention Fears
Recent trading in the US dollar against the Japanese yen (USD/JPY) has been marked by psychological resistance at the 160 level and fears of potential Japanese intervention.
According to MUFG's Teppei Ino, the pair initially opened near 159 before repeatedly testing the 160 barrier.
This resistance led traders to watch for possible Japanese intervention, which would have implications for the currency markets.
