It's the extremely low liquidity Aussie hours. Potential for lots of mischief until Tokyo! I hope this is the cue for BOJ to intervene decisively!

What a day. I am not a believer in eternal UJ falling - there are lots of experts and theories on what is driving the yen's appreciation, but no one really knows with certainty where the flows are from/to.
For sure this won't keep falling forever, but there is no end it sight yet. Intervention? Certainly possible, but futile...imo.

Perhaps we should do a head count and see who's still with us.

Hey Beljevina

How about this for a day's trade. You up for a buy anytime soon?

As for the flows...Zero Hedge has some not-so-unreasonable explanations and reports.

It looks to me like a major hedge fund or account blowing up.

You're quick on the draw there Condor ... will have to frame that one, to tell my kids about it ... unless, there is of course more to come ... I think the May 6 flash crash was was no more than 800 pips for GJ - 1.37ish to just below 130 I believe.

To put this in perspective, this is the second most traded currency in the world!!! Unimaginable!!

I don't see why anyone would go long. But then again, I trade what I see, and I can see that I'm going to run out of fingers to count all these nuclear reactors that are blowing up melting down are on fire or are going to be on fire soon.

Holy cow. I sold my long positions as the yen clearly broke 81, and put in some shorts. I just more than doubled my working equity... margins are double-edged sword, and sometimes you get the right side of things!
