157.45 to 158.20 is the expected intraday range for USD/JPY, according to United Overseas Bank (UOB). Analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann see the pair remaining in a narrow trading band. Their 1–3 week outlook retains a range of 157.00 to 158.60. Over 1–3 months, they anticipate further weakness, although a retest of January’s low of 152.08 remains uncertain.
"24-HOUR VIEW: We indicated yesterday that USD “could trade between 157.60 and 158.20.” USD then traded within a relatively narrow range of 157.43 and 157.99. The price action provides no fresh clues. Today, USD could trade between 157.45 and 158.20."

"1-3 WEEKS VIEW: We have been holding the same view since last Wednesday (28 Oct, spot at 157.85), when we highlighted that USD “has likely entered a range-trading phase, and for the time being, we expect it to trade between 157.00 and 158.60.” We continue to hold the same view."
