The USD/JPY currency pair is experiencing unique market tension. The price has reached a rarely seen DML monthly resistance level, which could inhibit further gains. Simultaneously, a strong support zone has formed below the current price, created by a confluence of three key elements: a historical anomaly, current weekly supports, and an unclosed price gap. The upcoming release of the FOMC meeting minutes could be the catalyst that determines whether the market will test the lower support zone or react at the resistance.
