the upside prevails as long as 161.60 is support
USD/JPY ended the week pressing the 162.00 handle, a whisker beneath its multi-decade high, and the more revealing detail is what it took to drag the Yen up there: a Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hike that was billed as the turning point.

USD/JPY edges lower on Friday and trades around 161.60 at the time of writing after once again failing to sustain a move above the 162.00 mark. The pair is facing profit-taking as investors remain cautious over the risk of intervention by Japanese authorities to support the domestic currency.

Lee Hardman at MUFG highlights that the Japanese Yen remains near year-to-date lows versus the US Dollar, with intervention risks limiting further weakness.

ING’s Francesco Pesole writes that markets are increasingly viewing 162.0 in USD/JPY as a new intervention threshold, helping explain the sharp intraday drop after the pair neared 162.

United Overseas Bank’s Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann keep a constructive view on USD/JPY, noting the pair has held above strong support at 161.10 while trading quietly around 161.78.

The USD/JPY pair continues with its struggle to reclaim the 162.00 mark on Friday and retreats slightly from the vicinity of a 40-year peak.
