One big non-Japanese bank places large bids on the EUR/JPY, leading to sharp gains in the cross as well as the USD/JPY, say two senior dealers in Tokyo. The EUR/JPY is at 109.70 after rising as high as 110.57 from 109.45 before the bids, while the USD/JPY is at 77.18 after rising as high as 77.85 from 77.09. Both dealers say the move isn't due to any intervention by Japanese monetary authorities. "These wannabe players often place big bids these days as they try to scare other participants that Japan's in," one dealer says.

No sir, post was not meaning anything about your chart. I actually didn't look at your chart properly, i thought it was a short term chart from today showing the spike which looked a little bit like boj intervention. I was just informing thread that the earlier spike today that looks like intervention was apparently not.

Am waiting. I'd rather be on the long side when the intervention happens. For now dollar weakness reigns.

Reduced my exposure to Greenback weakness by going long on EUR/GBP at 0.8709.

I hope the ECB can narrow the spread between Bunds with Spanish and Italian sovereign bonds quick enough.

Looks OK, stop loss in both positions moved to breakeven. EDIT: Make that SL in the money on both.

I wonder how BOJ feels about being the laughing stock of the financial world. Whoever executes their "intervention" needs a kick in the #$@^$.

If they hadn't intervened, the U/J would be lower than 75. In that respect, their intervention was successful.

I think the biggest effect has been psychological. Those who would normally take a Short position because of, say something they see on their charts, are now second guessing themselves and refraining for fear of an intervention.
