USD/JPY Eyes Weekly Gain on Broad Dollar Strength
USD/JPY is on track for a solid weekly gain, propelled by the same dollar-wide bid that followed Warsh's hawkish remarks. The pair's upward momentum mirrors gains seen across the dollar complex, suggesting the move is driven by USD strength rather than any shift in Bank of Japan policy expectations.
Price action shows sustained buying interest on dips, with the pair holding above levels traders had previously treated as resistance earlier in the week. This structure points to a shift in short-term sentiment, as dollar longs continue to build into the weekend.
Momentum indicators remain constructive for USD/JPY bulls, though traders should watch whether the current dollar rally has follow-through into next week's data calendar, which could either validate or stall this breakout attempt.
