Consolidation above 163.00, range 163.05-163.17.
USD/JPY flushed to 162.666 on the BoJ faster-hike report then rebuilt, and has since coiled in a tight 163.05-163.17 range. Thin Asia-session volume around Japan CPI keeps price pinned near 163.10 with RSI(14) neutral; the swing high at 163.17 caps and the 40-yr high at 163.24 sits above.
