A sustained break below <strong>153.500<\/strong> would strengthen the bearish outlook and increase the likelihood of a move towards <strong>153.000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, stronger US CPI data could support USD\/JPY by reinforcing expectations for a more cautious Federal Reserve approach towards rate cuts.
