This Week's Market Strategy - December 23, 2025 (Tuesday)

Following the results of the financial policy decision meeting held last week, there were no specific mentions in the market regarding the future interest rate hiking pace,

and a view that the next rate hike would take time spread widely, causing the yen to weaken sharply.

However, as the pair approaches 158 yen, there are intervention concerns, and the upside is becoming heavy.

If the move breaks through 158 yen, the question is whether intervention would occur. But as we approach the November 20th high, a correction has set in.

If the decline continues gradually, we would be looking at the 156 yen support level, and if we bounce from there, we might consider going long.

Since Western traders are already on Christmas break, liquidity is limited and prices are becoming more volatile, so please exercise sufficient caution when trading.
