Japan cannot afford a 75 Yens for 1 Dollar rate either.
Clearly they can otherwise round 2 would have commenced to send a strong message. Right now thursday was feeble.

Amazing intervention. They wont do anything till tomorrow.
If the NFP report is positive tomorrow, BOJ will have even more reasons to dump their Yens and buy Dollars.

It's really a competition for exports, and they want to win with a competitive price point. They really need their profit projections to pan out, and that was based on a strong dollar. Since there are other exporting countries competing with them for the US market it might not be an immediate win.

They can try all they want to curb Yen buying but unless its a continuous selling spread over couple of days just to make sure people don't keep strengthening, nothing is achieved.

The BOJ is probably waiting now to see if traders are taking the hint of their clout and also for general positive dollar sentiment.

Well, while it is true that in 1985 the USD/JPY did reach a historical low level of 64.55, in 2011 a YEN this strong could simply cripple the entire Japanese economy.

On the 4h chart, the USD/JPY broke its downtrend line and is theoretically on its way up.

But on the daily chart the USD/JPY simply hit a strong resistance so it must go down, at least theoretically.

Though call on this one, indeed.

The JPY Leading Index report is due in 2 hours, let's hope it clears things up, one way or the other.

If the USD/JPY does not rebound from the 78.45 level on the hourly chart game is over, it is going down.
