USD/JPY bias flipped 45 times to bearish on August 3, 2026
The yen hit a three-month high after U.S. intervention and President Trump's support, but investors remain skeptical about the currency's outlook. The yen later weakened slightly on what was seen as a technical correction, while broader market developments such as oil price moves and diplomatic efforts have also been in focus.
