The rate is at its lowest point in 30 days. JPY is under significant selling pressure. At lows, a bounce is possible — but only if the fundamental drivers change.
RSI of 14 means JPY has fallen fast relative to USD and may be oversold. RSI below 30 often precedes a bounce — but in a strong downtrend, the rate can stay oversold for weeks.

Historical JPY/USD Rates by Year
What drives the JPY/USD rate?
Whether you're converting yen after a Japan trip, repatriating JPY earnings, or following the yen's safe-haven movements, here's what drives the Japanese Yen to US Dollar rate. USD/JPY is strongly influenced by the interest rate differential between the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. Japan has historically maintained very low or negative interest rates, making JPY a popular funding currency in carry trades. Risk sentiment globally also moves this pair — JPY tends to strengthen during global uncertainty as investors seek safety.
How to get the best JPY to USD rate
The rate shown above is the interbank mid-market rate — the real exchange rate used between financial institutions. Individual customers cannot access this rate directly. Banks typically add a 2–3% spread on top, meaning you receive significantly less than the rate shown.
Online transfer services like Wise offer rates very close to the interbank rate with a small transparent fee of 0.5–1%. On a $1,000 JPY exchange this typically saves $15–25 compared to a bank. Airport exchange booths charge the highest fees — often 5–8% above the interbank rate — and should be avoided for large amounts.
