The USD/JPY is barely moving after the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) status quo announcement. The Japanese central bank offered little hawkish or dovish surprises by keeping its short-term rate target at minus 0.1 percent and the 10-year yield target around zero percent under a policy dubbed yield curve control (YCC).
Moreover, the BOJ is stuck between the rock and a hard place - maintaining current stimulus is proving costly, however, there is limited scope for policy normalization amid signs of global economic slowdown and ahead of next year's consumption tax hike.
According to the analysis, USD/JPY pair is expected to find support at 112.155, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 111.840. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 112.720, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 112.970.
USD/JPY previous day range was 5650 and current day range is 3400.
