USD/JPY bias flipped 15 times to bullish on September 30, 2026
USD/JPY slipped to around 156.4 as half-year-end flows and Federal Reserve comments weighed, with traders awaiting U.S. ADP labour and PCE data that are shaping expectations around Fed policy. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan raised rates to a 31-year high but the yen remained under pressure, leading Tokyo officials to describe it as undervalued and issue verbal warnings that have fueled intervention fears.
