- A modest reflection of USD from multi -month low additional support for the USD/JPY pair.
- The divergent expectations of the BOW may limit a few before the risk of central bank events.
Japan Japan (JPY) retains its negative prejudice among the modest revival of the American dollar (USD) from a multi -month low level and raises a pair of USD/JPA further more than half of 149.00, which is almost two weeks during the Asian session on Tuesday. In addition, the positive mood of the market, strengthened by the latest Chinese stimulus and hopes for the peace agreement of Ukraine, undergoes a safe and sound JPA and is still pushing a pair of USD/JPY in third place in a row.
Any significant JPA cushioning still seems elusive as a result of the attachment of the expectations that the Bank of Japan (Bij) will continue to raise interest rates in 2025. The positive results from the Shunto Spring spring negotiations have been confirmed. This means a enormous discrepancy compared to the growing market acceptance that the Federal Reserve (FED) will reduce interest rates several times this year, which may limit USD and USD/JPy pairs.

Investors will look for tips on future political perspectives, which in turn play a key role in the impact and determination of the next stage of directional traffic for the USD/JPY pair.
Japanese yen weakens as a result of a positive risk tone and a certain change in the position before the risk of central events

Kato added that the government will react accordingly, while enabling market forces to escalate bond price fluctuations. This is a low height of 40-year-old Japanese government bonds to a record level.
- Preliminary results of annual spring negotiations in Japan, which ended on Friday, showed that companies largely agreed to trade demands regarding a mighty wage escalate in the third year in a row. It is expected to escalate consumer expenses and contribute to growing inflation, which in turn gives the bank of Japan to escalate interest rates.
- In contrast to the fact that traders are now valued in the range of 25 basic points of the FED at political meetings in June, July and October among concerns about the US economic slowdown based on tariff, signs of a nippy labor market and mitigation of inflation. This may limit the attempt to recover the US dollar from the lowest level since October 2024 affected on Monday.

USD/JPY can climb further in the direction of 150.00 psychological sign; 100 % SMA on a 4-hour table contains the key
From a technical point of view, accommodation on a night above 100-period movable medium (SMA) on a 4-hour table and subsequent strength above the sign 149.00 can be seen as a key trigger for bulls. In addition, oscillators on the aforementioned chart gain positive adhesion and support the prospects of additional profits. Hence, the following force, back in the direction of regaining the psychological sign 150.00, looks like a clear possibility. However, any further movement up is more likely that it will face unyielding resistance and remain confined near the region of 150.75-150.80, representing the 200-speed SMA on a 4-hour table.
On the other hand, the area 149.20, followed by a sign 149.00 and region 148.80 (200-speed SMA on a 4-hour chart) now seems to protect a direct disadvantage. The convincing break below the above-mentioned support levels suggests that the recent movement over the past week has been missing and dragged a pair of USD/JPY to support 148.25-148.20 on the way to point 148.00. The downward trajectory can stretch further towards the area of ​​147.70, the region 147.20 and the mark 147.00, before the point prices finally drops to test the limit of several months, around 146.55-146.50 affected on March 11.
