http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-0...e-last-4-years Good article for all yen traders traders. Central banks the world over doing this. Probably having a good deal of fun 'controlling outcomes' for now. Wonder how this is gonna end.... personally am hoping the global-all-assets-mega-bubble pop is still a couple years away.
Oh ya it is. Japan's social security fund (GPIF) wasn't getting the returns they needed off government bonds so they like doubled their allocation of domestic stock, Nikkei shot up and I don't think it's looked back since.

UJ up the last 9 Tokyo opens in a row, at least 8 pips with very little downside.

EDIT:
(1/2)^9 = 1/512 (ignoring possibility for sideways market)
1/512 not that statistically unlikely of an event, and in the context of a 450 pip up move even less so.
I'm not gonna trade it with any significant leverage cause if I do that will be the day the pattern breaks, but worth noticing.

Speculation? Well that needs to be seen.

UJ: another W-pattern may form before heading to 114.7 -117, and then perhaps a collapse of the USD

We err, and err, and err again, but less.
USD/JPY continues its way South. A correction may be expected the coming week.

113.46 then 114.83. Lets not jump to 117 just yet. Strong resistance ahead. After touching either of the 2 Rs a pullback to 111.14 would be likely. For the moment it seems to be going up. Lets see what happens when market opens. Japs were closed for 2 days b4 the weekend.☺

the summary of this article is boj has been artificially lifting uj , and when this support is vexhausted the drop will be huge

ecb did the same and look where eu went

boj is trying to give overdose of Viagra and steroids to keep the Eiffel tower standing , whenever this supply ends .......

in my opinion and i can be wrong but a central bank intervention in stock markets is not good for the economy

Im concerned that stupid congress will give the Fed the authority to do this openly in the future. Janet Yellen has made remarks that if congress authorized the fed would possibly do thiss in the future.

I can see a scenerio where the current market falls/bubble pops everybody panics and congress gets stupid.
I've witnessed enough BoJ interventions in the last 6 years. The BoJ has been artificially raising UsdJpy for a long time. They will increase easing as necessary. To short UsdJpy is to trade against the BOJ. Chances of breaking the Bank of Japan is large even for a Quantum fund. lol

Don't act like the BoJ is trying something new and it's about to fall. They've stated that they will start talk of intervention the closer UsdJpy gets to 100, as agreed upon at the G10 meeting. UsdJpy can only go higher. To say USD demand will fall to the Yen during a Fed tightening cycle is ridiculous.

CitiBank trades more UsdJpy than any of us and they've got a 118 target within 6-12 months.

The BOJ has set its target yield for the benchmark 10-year Japan government bond at around zero percent, and it has been willing to intervene to keep the benchmark yield in line with its target.

con is the opposite of pro , congress / progress

artificially lifting stocks to give a show of economic strength and permitting foreigners to profit at your central bank's cost is stupidity

quit -10 , i was riding the dropping TL on daily but alas
uj below daily and weekly 100 sma should be bearish but lets see
Too many bears are putting their stops at 113.15-20. Any barrier defense at 113.0 is gone. Could very well be a spike there and pullback/continuation.
short UJ

SL: above 113
TP 112

Nothing happened ?
What were u expecting?. Uj opened with a gap of 20+ as expected. Went lower 40 odd pips as expected and will go to either 1208 or 113.25 during ny. That needs to be seen. Enough happening....☺.
