USD/JPY and GBP/USD Under Pressure as Dollar Strength Wanes

USD/JPY retreated 0.5% to 149.20 as renewed yen buying emerged amid risk-off sentiment in Asian markets. The pair failed to sustain breaks above 150.00, triggering technical selling and position adjustments. Japanese officials' verbal intervention warnings have increased as USD/JPY approached the psychologically important 150 level. GBP/USD simultaneously faced selling pressure, dropping 0.3% to 1.2865 as sterling weakness persisted. EUR/USD found support at 1.0630, while AUD/USD declined 0.4% to 0.6520 on broader dollar dynamics and commodity price concerns. Technical indicators show USD/JPY approaching oversold territory on daily charts, with support at 148.80. For GBP/USD, the 1.2850 level remains crucial support, with a break potentially targeting 1.2800. Traders are monitoring upcoming US economic data releases that could either reinforce or reverse current dollar weakness.
