Prospects increase but still need to wait for opportunities

The Japanese Yen (JPY) remains near its decades-low against the US Dollar, struggling for buyer interest following the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) dovish stance at its late March meeting, signaling further rate hikes are a while away. The positive risk sentiment further weakens the JPY, traditionally considered a safe haven. However, the downside may be limited due to concerns over potential government intervention to stabilize the weakening currency.

The US Dollar (USD) has seen a pullback from its highs since February 14th this week, another factor limiting the USD/JPY's rise near the 152.00 mark. Significant corrections in the pair seem elusive due to expectations that the interest rate differential between the US and Japan will remain wide. This suggests that the path of least resistance for the spot price might be upwards, as traders await the US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report on Friday for new momentum.
