Analysis from Aug 14, 2026, 8:19 PM

53,717 flat on the week — break above 54,000 round number needed to confirm next leg; failure opens 52,500 50-day MA.

53,717 holds near all-time highs but gold at $4,372 and flat equities signal risk-off hedging creeping in.

Main Risk

USD/JPY at 159.4 — BoJ tightening risk

Yen strength spike above 155 has historically triggered Dow vol; 159.4 keeps carry intact for now.
