Broad range, recovered from midweek flush.
USDJPY remains pinned near the 160.00 intervention line, chopping in a 159.54–160.59 band carved out this week. Wednesday's flush to 159.54 was fully retraced into the NY session, but follow-through has stalled with price now oscillating around EMA(20) and RSI mid-40s. The pair is coiling just under 160.34 ahead of Tuesday's BoJ decision.

Range, recovering off lows · RSI 49 · price 160.196
Range capped near 160.00, swept lows reclaimed.
USDJPY chopped under the 160.59 week high before a sharp sell-off drove a sweep into the mid-159s, with the 159.54 spike low quickly reclaimed back toward 160.30. Price now consolidates around 160.20 either side of EMA(20) as RSI(14) sits flat near 50, the pair pinned by intervention sensitivity at the 160.00 line. The dominant move of the window was the down-leg from 160.59 into 159.54, since largely retraced.
