Key Quotes

“Price action suggests that the break lower in USD/JPY is technically driven on the back of general USD weakness with lots of short JPY positions exposed to the sell-off. In the short term, the strong momentum and stretched short JPY positioning suggest that further downside could be in store for USD/JPY. Look out for a reaction from the Bank of Japan.
