βœ” Declining expectations of aggressive Fed interest rate hikes

πŸ’‘ Key Market Drivers
πŸ“‰ JPY Strength
Suspected intervention by Japanese authorities
Safe-haven demand for Yen

πŸ“Š Technical Outlook
USD/JPY is now approaching a critical level and appears vulnerable to a potential breakdown below the 200-day EMA, which is a major long-term trend indicator.

βœ” US ADP employment data
βœ” Market reaction at key support zones

⚠️ Conclusion
USD/JPY remains under pressure, and volatility is expected to increase as traders react to both economic data and central bank signals.
