USDJPY CIO Synthesis Report
USDJPY at 159.245 sits 0.6% below the 160 intervention ceiling in a compressed, pre-breakout state. Four agents lean bullish short-term (technical, quant, edge-finder, intermarket), two lean bearish medium-term (macro, fundamental), one is neutral (sentiment). The conviction-weighted consensus is CAUTIOUSLY BULLISH near-term (1-5 days) with a clear structural bearish overhang beyond 1 month. The defining feature is the 160 level -- a gravitational magnet from carry and seasonality, but a hard ceiling from MoF intervention memory. The trade is to buy dips toward 158.20-158.80 for a probe of 160, with tight stops below 157.75 and a mandatory exit above 160.20 if no intervention materializes. Overall conviction is moderate (62/100) reflecting the tension between near-term carry/seasonality tailwinds and medium-term policy convergence headwinds.
