Disclaimer:

The intervention suggests that the Japanese government is committed to maintaining the strength of the Japanese yen, which could lead to increased volatility in the USDJPY pair. Traders should closely monitor official statements from the Ministry of Finance and the BoJ, as well as market reactions to any confirmed interventions.
