A confirmed Ministry of Finance intervention on April 30 triggered the largest single-day bid in months, snapping back a month's worth of range in one candle. The market has since settled into a chop around the 2026 VWAP confluent with the 0.006395 daily level 2, where buyers and sellers are actively battling for control. The BOJ's hawkish hold in late April, rising June hike expectations, and ongoing Middle East geopolitical risk continue to define the macro landscape as the market decides its next directional leg.
