Everybody was just plain wrong on this pair. This looks like the biggest pump and dump on major ever.

Don't you mean ... dump and pump. It went down first.

But then so did any number of other currencies. Any number of stock market indices. Any number of commodities.

In other words a lot of traders guessed wrong - and got burned.

Newsflash: that is what markets do. They move because they have to move. Stops taken out causing more stops to be taken out on and on till some sort of balance is found. Then once the dust settles back the other way. It is what it is.

I am 99% sure BoJ was behind todays move, despite them not saying a thing. My sample of X/JPY trades is 3000+ from last 5 years. I can separate natural from unnatural movements. Also, fundamentally this would be valid as BoJ already stated that a stronger yen would undo their previous efforts to keep the yen low against other currencies, primarily the dollar.

come on... how many elections in the last 5 years?
look at every single currency pair... they all had the same affect, nothing to do with BOJ

Yen was the weakest currency throughout the day (any currency meter showed it) but eur wasn't much behind.

because its the safe haven everyone plays... brexit it was the strongest... (i believe) money went from GBP to JPY - like it went from JPY to USD...

its the same with other currencies yes, but JPY is sold with USD in simple terms thats why sometimes a strong dollar = yen on steroids

EUR similar, funding currency atm losing interest as dollar gains strength

im not too good with this stuff so correction may be coming for me...

There has been clear warnings from BoJ earlier regarding interventions on a trump win. There are rare events, like elections, that will create big moves.. a move caused by a behind-the-scenes intervention however moves differently. Not up for searching examples in the archive, but i can tell you todays move shows the same characteristics as previous ones.
