In this comprehensive analysis, Ultima Markets brings you an insightful breakdown of the USDJPY for 5^th April 2024. 

Key Takeaways 

• Psychological level: Market participants expects 152 psychological level is where Japanese officials may intervene to prevent further depreciation. If the greenback rises slowly to the threshold, they may not intervene in the process. However, a sharp appreciation may trigger intervention in the market.

Whether the US dollar against the Japanese yen can break out of its trading range depends on tonight’s report.
