...if yen crosses can finish around current levels for the day...odds starting to look in favour of selling yen again, probably on a simple 50fib, with stops below recent lows...aud/jpy seems to be leading the pack in this regard...

I don't think so, the BOJ will do everything to weaken the Yen. The JPY is totally overvalued and belongs more than 100. When you check historical charts on a monthly base you will see, once such a trend is starting it can go for a long period. Another reason is that there are economic reasons that the Yen should loose significant value. Maybe the safe haven Yen is also history.

I wondering myself why here is little discussion about USD/JPY long. It is my best FX trade so far. I am JPY short since summer last year and finally the JPY gets significant weaker, I bought several additional positions as a pyramid, it is working well. The Yen it is still totally overvalued. I may close half of the position at 87, the remaining can go up to 110 which may take another year.

The USD/JPY FX long has also the advantage that there are no daily rolling costs which means I can hold out for a long time.

PS: I am also Long EUR/CHF which is a similar situaltion like the JPY, here I am still waiting that the CHF gets weaker.
