USD/JPY bias flipped 18 times to bearish on September 7, 2026
The Japanese yen has surged to a six-month high against the dollar, driven by rising expectations of Bank of Japan rate hikes and a record intervention from Japan's reserves. This yen strength is putting notable downward pressure on USDJPY, as the U.S. dollar index also trades under pressure amid accelerated yen buying.
