👉 Primary Focus: USD/JPY 152.00 Barrier
This level has historically coincided with official intervention and verbal warnings.
With options clustering + policy sensitivity, it’s a high-stakes defense zone.

Meanwhile, EUR/USD and AUD/USD remain in range-control mode, suggesting traders should avoid breakout bets until after NY cut, when volatility often re-emerges.
