Fresh week opened with a small gap-down from 160.196, leaving price at 160.105 in the lower third of the prior 159.95–160.37 range. Volume is thin on the new open and RSI(14) sits mid-40s — no directional structure yet, just drift below the gap.

USDJPY opened the week with a small gap lower and is hovering at 160.11, just above the 160.00 psych line after spending the prior session ranging between 160.00 and 160.30.
