You can see by this chart why the 4.50%ish area is important as it coincides with the low price for the month (higher yields = lower price and vice versa).

USDJPY backing off in line with a generally softer USD. The bottom of a minor range is around 156.50, below it there are several layers of support through 155.99. This time it is EURUSD that is lagging (note EUR crosses)
