I smell a rat... usually they don't analyse JPY pairs like this...
Where do you see this and why are you suspicious of it?

yep, that's their job i don't watch COT figures but i guess USDJPY is 'overbought' by retailers for quite a long time now.
Retail traders have been long for months now (and of course losing).
Here are FXCM's latest numbers from this afternoon for their retail accounts trading USD/JPY.

USDJPY - The ratio of long to short positions in the USDJPY stands at 7.12 as nearly 88% of traders are long. Yesterday, the ratio was at 5.97 as 86% of open positions were long. In detail, long positions are 19.8% higher than yesterday and 28.3% weaker since last week. Short positions are 0.4% higher than yesterday and 13.6% weaker since last week. Open interest is 17.0% stronger than yesterday and 10.4% below its monthly average. The SSI is a contrarian indicator and signals more USDJPY losses.

Forex.com, it is suspicious because they seldom cover JPY pairs like this with their analysis. In fact, its more suspicious considering all the latest entries are JPY pairs. I don't know but it just looks far too curious for my liking.

Good Morning Asia Open!

The Downtrend Remain very strong indeed (Noted : Again Without any Intervention Possible we would see this pairs breaking the lowest support)

Speculation speculation, but does anyone think that perhaps the next intervention can have more cooperation from other G7 countries? It seems that the Swiss and Japanese are on the same side here, while maybe the USA and Euro-zone can be defensive against intervention, finance ministers did have a teleconference just a few days prior (Sunday I believe).

Noda is such a bystander. 71% on Oanda longs on USDJPY... Intervention at 0230 hrs? hmm

Imagine how bad the drop will be exacerbated if Noda doesn't support, there would be a huge "long squeeze" downward

I agree, come on Yen, go down and weaken against the dollar, back to 360 as it was 50 years ago.

They are toothless as an OAP. In fact I realise now if everyone shorted the pair it would force BOJ to intervene more frequently and powerfully. EVERYONE join the shorting revolution!

Not when you are at the wrong end of a 300+pip intervention.
