USDJPY opened the week with a weekend gap down toward 163.52 and has since ground back above EMA20, RSI(14) cycling in the low-50s. The 163.85 prior-high shelf and the 163.96 week high remain the caps, holding two attempts near 40-year highs; demand stepped in around the 163.33 dip during Monday's session. Price action is more USD relief-slide than genuine yen strength per the digest.

Recovery after weekend gap, grinding back toward week high.
USDJPY printed a fresh near-40-year high just below 163.985 mid-week before a weekend gap down to 163.571 reset the tape; price has since ground higher along rising lows into the NY session, holding above EMA(20). The move reflects more USD softness/relief on oil de-escalation than genuine yen strength, with the pair capped so far under the 163.79 session high. RSI(14) is cycling in the mid-50s, consistent with a measured recovery rather than fresh impulse.

A weekend gap lower from Friday's 163.85 close to a 163.57 open was followed by a grind back up, price now sitting at 163.72 above both EMA(20) and EMA(50). Higher lows have built off the 163.33 post-gap low, with buyers reclaiming the 163.55 swing area on a soft-dollar relief tone after the US-Iran truce eased oil and safe-haven demand. Session high at 163.79 has capped the recovery; the 163.98 weekly high and 164.00 psych level cap above.

Weekend gap down being retraced; higher lows off Monday's dip.
USD/JPY gapped lower into this week's open near 163.57 as the US-Iran truce softened the dollar and eased oil-inflation pressure. Monday's dip to the 163.33 swing low has since been bought back to 163.74, filling most of the weekend gap while holding above EMA(20).

Recovering off weekend gap-down, grinding back toward pre-gap highs.
USDJPY printed a fresh near-40yr high toward 163.985 mid-week before a weekend gap down (Friday close 163.85 into Monday's 163.57 open) as US-Iran de-escalation cooled oil and softened the USD. Price has since ground higher off the 163.327 session low and now sits at 163.74, holding above EMA(20) with RSI(14) cycling in the mid-50s.

Lower highs off week high, holding 163.33.
USDJPY rallied from Monday's 162.64 base to a 163.985 week high before stalling just shy of the 164.00 intervention zone flagged by MoF. Price gapped down at this week's open — 163.85 to 163.57 — and has since drifted below EMA(20) with RSI(14) parked in the low-40s. The 163.33 day low is the pivot; supply capped every push back toward the 163.71 session highs.

USD/JPY rallied from Monday's 162.64 low to a fresh 40-yr high near 163.98 on Thursday, then trimmed as longs pared into intervention risk after Katayama's warning. Price gapped down at this week's open and is now consolidating below the 163.60 EMA20, with the 163.33 session low holding and RSI(14) cooling to the mid-40s. Rejection near 163.85 has capped the rebound, keeping the pair boxed under the 164.00 psychological/intervention zone.

USDJPY drove from Monday's 162.62 open to a fresh 40-year high near 163.99 through midweek as the wide Fed-BoJ gap and firm US data kept the yen offered. Price gapped lower on the weekly reopen and has drifted back to 163.51, sitting under EMA(20) with RSI cycling in the low-40s. The 163.85 pre-gap shelf now caps, while 163.33 has held the current-session base.

Consolidating below week high after weekend gap down.
USD/JPY ran to Thursday's ~40-year high near 164.00 on the wide Fed-BoJ gap before a weekend gap lower reopened trade around 163.57. Price has since drifted 163.33-163.71 and sits below EMA20/50 with RSI(14) mid-40s, marking a pause in the week's advance rather than a reversal. The 163.985 week high and the 164.00 handle cap the topside, an area repeatedly flagged for MoF intervention risk.

Weekend gap down after mid-week peak, consolidating below prior support.
USD/JPY rallied off Monday's 162.58 low to a mid-week peak at 163.96, holding just under the 164.00 barrier as the wide Fed-BoJ gap and firm US data kept the yen pinned near multi-decade lows. This week's open printed a weekend gap down to 163.57, and price has since drifted to 163.50, slipping under EMA20 with RSI(14) cooling below 50. The 163.60 gap edge now caps, while 163.85 session high and the 163.96 week high mark overhead resistance.

Consolidating below week high after weekend gap down.
USDJPY climbed all week to a 163.985 high near the 164.00 psych barrier before a weekend gap down reset price back to the 163.5 zone. Since the gap, H1 has traded a soft series of lower highs with RSI(14) sitting below 50, keeping price under the short EMAs after failing to reclaim the 163.86 recent high.

USD/JPY ground up to Thursday's multi-decade high near 163.99 on the wide Fed-BoJ gap, then opened this week with a weekend gap lower to 163.57.

USDJPY ground to a fresh multi-decade high near 163.96 through Thursday's NY session on the wide Fed-BoJ gap and crowded carry, then opened this week with a modest gap lower to 163.57 and has since coiled between 163.47 and 163.70. Price sits back under the EMA(20) with RSI(14) easing to the mid-40s as the pre-gap 163.85 shelf caps rebounds. The 164.00 handle remains the near-term ceiling with intervention risk flagged in that zone.

June National CPI printing 1.7% (core 1.6%, in line) gave no fresh hawkish impetus and Katayama's verbal intervention kept price shy of the 40-year high.
