USD/JPY bias flipped 8 times to bullish on September 22, 2026
USDJPY has moved higher following contrasting central bank signals, with hawkish Federal Reserve expectations cited alongside the dollar while the yen was pressured after a dovish Bank of Japan rate hike on a split vote. Attention is also focused on growing fears of another Japanese intervention amid sustained yen weakness near 157.00, with a brief yen recovery linked to a sharp correction in oil prices.
