USD/JPY bias flipped 33 times to bearish on September 11, 2026
The Japanese Yen has strengthened against the US Dollar amid growing market expectations that the Bank of Japan will tighten monetary policy, with headlines pointing to a possible 25 basis point rate hike. This comes as US inflation data failed to sustain a rebound in the Dollar, adding to the Yen's recovery. The focus on BoJ policy tightening, rather than the Federal Reserve, is a key driver for USDJPY.
