USD/JPY was trading rangebound at 129.96 at around 10:45 GMT, with session high at 130.20 and low of 129.96.
The major grinds sideways as traders stay wary amid pre-Fed trading lull. Some consolidation ahead of the potential breakout.
Technical indicators support the current bullish stance. A hawkish outcome from the Fed will propel the pair higher.
Markets have priced in a 0.50% rate hike and clues for balance-sheet normalization. Hence the Fed needs to do more to buoy the USD.
On the other side, an ultra-loose monetary policy by the BOJ has kept the Japanese yen on the edge.
