Forex Technical Update 9.17.2010
The Japanese yen started the week mainly strengthening. Wednesday's intervention pressured the currency. As we will see, most yen-crosses are still within bearish or at most ranging context. The GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY, AUD/JPY, and CAD/JPY and USD/JPY are all ranging or bearish. The CHF/JPY pair is the only one with a bullish outlook. Therefore, the market might not respect the intervention and may want to test the pre-intervention level. Let's see what the charts say.

I don't think the Japanese government intervened to lull the market. It is political pressure from exporters. However, the market is waiting there for resistance, as you should already see today. However, I think the market can extend to 88.00 and still maintain a range between 88 and 83. Of course a break above 88 is very significant and turns the market bullish for the following few weeks.

hi,
do you think that maybe the Japanese have weakened the Yen to lull people into thinking that USD/JPY will break the 85/86 area (because of there intervention) and then it will sell ?
thanks.
