USD/JPY Surges Past 157 After BOJ Rate Hike

Event Date: Sep 18, 2026

Analysis Summary

The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to 1.25%, yet USD/JPY climbed above 157 amid concerns over a split vote. Two newer BOJ board members, Toichiro Asada and Ayano Sato, dissented, signaling potential delays in future tightening and weighing on the yen. Technical levels include the 50% Fib retracement at 156.64 and 61.8% at 157.53, with the 200-day moving average near 158.38 the next resistance. Traders await BOJ Governor Ueda’s press conference for further hawkish cues.
