USD/JPY bias flipped 32 times to bullish on August 10, 2026
The yen remains under pressure as Japan's current account swung to a surprise deficit and fiscal concerns weigh, while a divided BoJ limits policy support. Market attention is on possible U.S.-Japan intervention after USD/JPY bounced from recent lows. These factors are keeping the pair sensitive to policy signals and intervention talk.
