The Day Before: It was all about the #Yen
- The JPY dragged all its crosses through the mud, breaking notable levels against the USD, EUR, and AUD.

Carry Trade Unwinding, USD/JPY is leading the way
Japanese Yen crosses are unwinding and speeding up. USD/JPY is going down taking all the other yen crosses down with it. It gained the momentum when the major support at 110 is broken. It can go down to 107 in short term. I have benefited from selling GPY/JPY and EUR/JPY so far. Looking forward to better levels to reenter and sell yen crosses. Any rally will be sold.
Japanese Yen to Stay in Range
After a wild first two months of the year, the Japanese Yen has a calmer session in March. The pair closed lower by only 12 pips, forming a doji pattern on the monthly chart. This pattern signals indecision in the market. The market usually moves in a range about 70% of the time and only trends the other 30%.
An added problem for any trends is the active intervention by the Japanese ministry of Finance. Look at the 4h chart below. Notice the the pair keeps getting bought around 111 dollars for 1…

Yen strength continues
Yen strength has been one of the main stories this year. After unsuccessful attempt by the BOJ to stem its appreciation, yen buyers returned with force in February. The pair (USD/JPY) is down eight cents in the first eight trading days of the month.
It has broken below strong 115.50 - 116.00 support (now resistance) at the start of the week, held near 100 week SMA (~115) for two days and then continued below 23.6% retracement of the 2011 - 2015 rally today. October 2014 high near 110 is the next…

USD/JPY to trade lower in January
Monthly chart
The pair broke above a strong cluster of resistance (trendline that contained long-term downtrend in years 1986, 1990, 1998; 23.6% retracement of the 1982 to 2011 decline; 2007 high at 124.14). The pair retested the cycle-high (~125.85) in August before it sold off strongly amid concerns about global growth, China slowdown, oil prices and Fed tightening. It retraced most of the losses but has been unable to get above 124.00.
