DislikedAJ is an interesting pair. But won't JPY pairs fall just like USD pairs? Japan and US very similar economies.

Currently the USD has been the preferred currency for funding the carry trade, making it weaker compared to all other currencies, commodities, etc. The US economy is also recovering faster than Jp and there is an anticipated Fed rate hike prior to BoJ rate hike, essentially shifting the currency for funding carry trades from USD to JPY leading to a stronger USD and weaker JPY.
Completely different economies, completely different fundamentals. The reason why they tend to move in tandem at times is that they are both safe haven economies and react similarly in times of risk aversion and risk appetite.
