After the rally from the <strong>147.00<\/strong> base, price action has begun to consolidate just below key resistance at <strong>152.00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/03\/2_image-20-1024x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32372\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>5-day moving average<\/strong> has started to flatten, signalling slowing bullish momentum, while the <strong>10-day MA<\/strong> is catching up as potential dynamic support. The next key support sits near <strong>149.50<\/strong>, followed by <strong>148.30<\/strong>, where previous consolidation occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>MACD<\/strong> indicator also suggests early signs of weakening momentum with the histogram beginning to contract while the MACD line is curling toward the signal line, hinting at a possible short-term pullback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the broader trend remains bullish as long as the pair stays above the <strong>148.00\u2013148.50<\/strong> region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fundamentally, yen traders remain highly sensitive to any verbal intervention from the <strong>Bank of Japan (BoJ)<\/strong> or the Ministry of Finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With U.S. yields still relatively elevated and the BoJ maintaining ultra-loose policy, interest rate differentials continue to support the dollar. Yet, heightened volatility around the <strong>152.00<\/strong> mark means traders are cautious about adding new longs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The near-term bias for USD\/JPY appears tilted to the downside as <strong>political uncertainty and safe-haven demand<\/strong> strengthen the yen. However, the broader trend will depend on signals from the <strong>Bank of Japan<\/strong> and the <strong>Federal Reserve<\/strong>, with markets now closely watching whether the yen\u2019s recovery will persist beyond this correction phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Create your live VT Markets account<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.vtmarkets.com\/login?_gl=1*5vyjdn*_gcl_au*Njc1MzM0NjY0LjE3NTEzNTM4MTc.*_ga*MjA5ODA0NDIzNC4xNzI3OTE1ODQ1*_ga_J26NL1ZVX7*czE3NTE4NzkxMDYkbzMwOCRnMSR0MTc1MTg3OTExOCRqNDgkbDAkaDA.*_ga_6XQ8153GYW*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzU3JGcxJHQxNzUxODc5MTE4JGo1MCRsMCRoMA..*_ga_BG6LYEHPX1*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMTgkajUwJGwwJGgw*_ga_J8BRGZSREX*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_7CG6454YR5*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_69Z54R4H9N*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_CY2VCKFC3C*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjIkajQ2JGwwJGgw*_ga_TXZ07R2C21*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_17TMGY9BBE*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_MWDVVSEVL5*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_2QCC3S2748*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjUkajQzJGwwJGgw*_ga_E7D2PCX624*czE3NTE4NzkxMjYkbzUkZzAkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjYkajYwJGwwJGgw*_ga_XJ4037XKK6*czE3NTE4NzkxMjYkbzUkZzAkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjYkajYwJGwwJGgw*_ga_EJCVQDC7VT*czE3NTE4NzkxMDgkbzUkZzEkdDE3NTE4NzkxMjYkajQyJGwwJGgw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">start trading<\/a> now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The yen extended gains past 151 per dollar as political uncertainty surrounding Japan\u2019s ruling party leadership vote drove short covering. &#8211; vtmarkets.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":17051,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[10,45],"class_list":["post-32369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analysis","tag-forex","tag-yen"],"acf":{"acf_article_selection_author":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Yen rises amid Japan&#039;s uncertain leadership race, affecting currency markets and investor outlook.
