BOJ rate increase...long JPY

Discussion in 'Forex' started by AKUMATOTENSHI, Mar 19, 2024.

  1. After the announcement little shift can already be seen. At 151.66 USD/JPY a short USD is being set up. If anyone remembers post 2008 76.000 USD/JPY when it went below parity and the long jumped in. What is the possibility of a return. ie. New Emperor, demographic shift, shifting auto and technologies market.....

    Usually it doesn't happen abruptly it's slow process which is priced in by the market step-by-step according to information available. Looking back, yes you will certainly see some long-term bottom but I doubt anybody buying at that time thought that price formed multi-year low

    Outdated news by a week.

    USDJPY has been on the uptrend since 2012.

    The recent uptrend started a year ago.

    Yeah market is driven by expectations, however sometimes reality may not live up to expectations. BoJ tends to often deliver surprises, pushing back against market hopes
