Near-term: TWO-SIDED conviction 10% · 910 up vs 935 down scenarios

USD/JPY is two-sided near-term — finely balanced. Of the 1,845 mapped scenarios that move USD/JPY, 910 push it up and 935 push it down, and weighting each by its probability, size and how soon it bites, the book skews neither way. The single biggest swing factor is Central-bank gold super-surge tops 1,300t/yr (49% likely, ~0.6% on USD/JPY). Regime backdrop: Hawkish Fed (3.50–3.75%, dot-plot leans to a HIKE), firm dollar, active US–Iran/Hormuz conflict, AI-led equity pullback.

Probabilistic, scenario-weighted read from the library + the current regime — informational, not investment advice. A lean is a tilt in the odds, not a promise.
