Societe Generale’s Kenneth Broux and colleagues note USD/JPY has broken out of a recent consolidation, reclaiming its 200‑day moving average and trading above 160 for a second day. The pair faces key resistance around 160.40/160.70 and 162.20, with support near 158.70.

Dollar-Yen tests multi-year highs

"USD/JPY witnessed a sharp rebound in September and evolved within a narrow consolidation. It has now broken out above the upper limit of this rang denoting possibility of extension in bounce. The next potential hurdles could be located at April high of 160.40/160.70 and projections near 162.20."

"The pair has reclaimed the 200-DMA. If a short-term pullback develops, the moving average at 158.70 could be an important support."

"USD/JPY: 159.66 - 160.19 overnight range. Spot trades through 160 for second day before traders pare back on warning by FinMin Katayama one-sided action and rapid forex moves. Support 158.70, resistance 160.70."
