Yen Slides Further as BOJ Policy Diverges from Global Tightening; Intervention Risks Rise Ahead of Policy Meeting

USD/JPY is again testing 150 ahead of next week's BOJ meeting, raising chances of intervention amid speculation of potential YCC tweak.

BOJ's ultra-easy policy contrasts global central bank tightening, pressuring yen. Rising yields may spur BOJ to adjust YCC policy.

USD/JPY uptrend intact with higher highs/lows. Needs close below 148.75-149.25 for near-term consolidation.

GBP/JPY sideways recently but broader uptrend intact. Major support at July low of 176.25.

EUR/JPY at top of 154.00-160.00 range. Uptrend remains as cross holds above 89DMA/Ichimoku cloud support near 154.50.
