What you think about USDJPY now?


Recommended Posts

I'm sitting with a few sellorders between 80.38 and 80.90

But I will cancel them if there is a retest of 80 before one of my prices is reached.

Will then again be looking for shorts next week, because I'm expecting some profit taking from japanese exporters in the month end week.

I read an article yesterday, that a weekly close above 80.90 would open the door for 100

Coming into this past week I was looking for the October intervention highs of 79.53 to break. That happened. And for USDJPY to surpass the August BOJ intervention induced highs of 80.24 99 (the first red line) -- which it did. Given the confusion surrounding Europe and the euro, market participants have indeed gotten excited about the yen trade. They've made money in it. And they continue to build big positions in the theme of a major trend change here. It all boils down the BOJ policy changes from Feb 14. The biggest deal: they set an inflation "expectation" – with that, they vowed to print yen until they dig their way out of deflation and hit a target of 1% inflation. That's a clear enough message to get big players very excited to establish big short yen positions.
