USDJPY | Friday's fall exposes more downside
Updated
The Yen seems to be making its purpose very clear at the moment: We are still in a risk off environment.
Friday's move took the pair down nearly 150 pips, clearly taking out a host of lows (and stop orders. Ouch).
Interestingly, we see that the retail crowd is still long USDJPY to the tune of 80% (i.e., of most retail trade data available, and of those trading USDJPY, 80% are long).
If retail is going one way, I want to go the other.
The short: I'd like a retest somewhere between 108.80 and 109.20 (I look at that as a single zone).
