USDJPY falls sharply 📉 Markets in fear of another BoJ intervention?

Over the past several minutes, USDJPY has seen a sudden downward move, pushing the pair around 1% lower. After the yen weakened beyond the 160 level against the U.S. dollar earlier today, following the conclusion of the G20 summit, the currency abruptly surged, prompting speculation among traders about another possible intervention.

At this stage, there are no obvious headlines or macroeconomic developments that would clearly explain the sudden move. However, the 160 level may be emerging as a new threshold for the market, particularly as traders weigh hawkish comments from Bessent and the Bank of Japan, which have signaled concerns over excessive yen weakness.
