Don't Forget the Yen

Much ado about USD rebounds during falling markets, but JPY strength still outperforms USD.

USDJPY failed 91.50, and just dropped 12 pips as soon as the PPT-backed U.S. equity rally ran out of time into the 4 pm NYT close. I guess the SMART $$ is planning for a reversal in equities, possibly as soon as in the next Tokyo (Nikkei) and European sessions.

Let's see if the RBA is right back at it, instructing their prop desks to bid AUDUSD higher at ALL costs.

Folks, a widening of the spread in Treasuries is behind the explosive move up in USDJPY.

I a anticipating a pullback in equities soon, which would move $$ from equities to bonds, causing the spread to narrow and USDJPY to decline. In addition, USD/JPY is still sensitive to equity declines in general.

If USDJPY holds here at the 91.40/50 level, then expect this last 80 pip in one hour move to be reversed. So first target is 90.75, then 90.30.

This one may take a few days to work out.
