Forexa, if the markets were truly "free" yes it would.
They are not, and are completely artificial. If the central bank has a target, and in this case a decision to reverse a trend, it will happen, because they can make it happen.
from forexlive ..

he last time the BoJ were active in the market was in 2004 and prior to that in 1997/1998. On both occasions the intervention went on for an extended period of time and succeeded in driving the USD/JPY considerably higher. That is why at least two big hedge funds have been so active over the last few weeks buying USD/JPY in expectation of some serious intervention. They expect that USD/JPY will reach 90.00 at a minimum and history suggests that they may be right. There will of course be some serious swings during this time so don’t be surprised to hear about these big players appearing on the offer from time to time, just as happened above 85.00 after US economic data a few days ago.
It is also interesting to note that the BoJ does not have the scope to diversify their USD purchases into EUR, GBP etc. These dollars will stay as dollars and hence the USD rally today against the other majors is managing to sustain itself for the moment at least.

Is it? Or is the BOJ just waiting for those ready to short so they can squeeze them back out of the market?

Tis hard to get a good price fill after the first few Yards. Need someone to knock it back down.

Exactly!! So I would wait until there is a clear reversal sign and then short.

Funny, it was only yesterday that the new guy won the elections and with that the common theory was that he would be less likely to intervene and look at the very first thing that he does.



You never can tell.

why are you guys thinking that this intervention effect only for a short time and will be back drawn to lower level again? can any one explain why? sorry for asking since i'm an engineer and can not analyze this in detail.... Many thanks before.

This is what's supposedly the purpose of the intervention:

"The Bank of Japan strongly expects that the action taken by
the Ministry of Finance in the foreign exchange market will
contribute to a stable foreign exchange rate formation.

The Bank will, while pursuing strong monetary easing, continue
to provide ample liquidity to the financial markets."

If you use a tight stop you'll be OK. The challenge is to time the up and downs.
