<p>As of Tuesday, the Japanese yen is in a consolidation phase against the US dollar, with the current USD/JPY exchange rate at 147.12.</p>

<p>Anticipations are that the USDJPY pair might take a different trajectory by Friday, potentially dipping below the 146.00 mark. This speculation is closely linked to the release of US employment data, which could provide grounds for a further downward pullback of the pair.</p>

<p>Despite the Federal Reserve's firm stance, there's a decrease in the yield on US Treasury bonds. Simultaneously, both the Bank of Japan and the US Federal Reserve continue to base their strategies on data reflecting the actual economic situations in their respective countries.</p>

<p>The USD/JPY scenario could shift significantly based on the outcome of Friday's US labor market data release. According to consensus forecasts, the unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 3.9%, with <a href="https://blog.roboforex.com/blog/2019/10/15/trading-news-how-to-make-money-on-non-farm-payrolls/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="88" title="Nonfarm Payrolls">nonfarm payrolls</a> potentially increasing by 175-185 thousand, following a 150 thousand rise in October.</p>

<p>This week marks the expiration of a significant number of USDJPY options around 148.00, adding another layer of potential influence on the instrument's movements.</p>
