USD/JPY chart questions
- Why does USD/JPY follow US Treasury yields?
- Higher US yields increase the appeal of holding dollars versus yen, which tends to support the pair. The link is not constant and can weaken when risk sentiment dominates.
- What is currency intervention and how does it look on a chart?
- It is when a government or central bank trades to move its currency. On a chart it appears as a sudden, sharp move against the prevailing trend. It cannot be predicted from chart patterns.
- Which levels matter on USD/JPY?
- Round numbers such as 150.00 have often acted as psychological levels, alongside prior swing highs and lows. Verify them on your own chart.
