BofAML Warns USDJPY Trend Has Turned
USDJPY's medium-term trend has turned from bullish to bearish. BofAML's Macneil Curry warns that the break of the old May highs suggest weakness should extend further with the 200-day moving avarege at 99.71 as a minimum downside target. Given the JPY's weighting in the USD Index basket, this does not have specific bearish USD implications but does have significant effect on equities as the JPY carry trade comes under pressure.
Via BofAML's Macneil Curry,
$/¥ turns trend, but the US $, in general, is still bullish
$/¥ has turned medium term trend. The break of the old May highs at 103.74 has completed a 3 week Head and Shoulders Top, targeting 102.07/102.30, but weakness should extend much further. The completed 5 wave advance from the Feb'12 lows says we should expect minimum downside targets to the 200d at 99.71, and eventually the Jun'13/Apr'13 lows at 93.79/92.57 before greater signs of stabilization and a resumption of the LONG TERM uptrend towards 124/147 (to be fine-tuned).
However, the $/¥ story does not have broader implications for the US $.
Treasuries roll bullish, but how far can they go?
US Treasuries continue to rally following Friday's bullish reversals across the curve. In the very near term, 10yr yields may hold 2.827%/2.823% area resistance, but as long as 2.935% support remains intact, the risks remain to the downside in yield. KEY RESISTANCE IS SEEN AT 2.792%.
Through here says that we have undergone a medium term bullish turn in trend, exposing the larger, multi-month range lows between 2.544%/2.468%.

I'll take the other side of that trade.
It's a free country.
You're free to do whatever you want, no matter how stupid it is.
Everyone and his mother, and even idiots like Gartman, are on the same side of overcrowded short JPY train.
So, Japan is to be sacraficed then? I thought that there was distinct order to these dominoes damnit.
Hooray! Hooray! Short JPY!

What could possibly go wrong???
Soon to be what the commuter trains into the Bay Area and Los Angeles look like. - "winning"
"Short JPY" is Gartman's 2014 "number one trade of the year" ... in pie-in-the-sky terms.
Enough said...
Right....
How's Abe feel about that? BofA? Yeah, do the opposite...
Things swing. Wait for the Yen to recover to 97-98 Yen to the dollar, then go short. What's the rush? Put in your stops at 94-96 Yen to the dollar depending on your risk level. I agree - the Yen is toast. Lots of time to play this one out.
Tyler....why are you bugging us with ML poop
Some idiotic government worker posted back to me last week, DXY is meaningless.

Cup and handle.
So back to 99.70 before lift off to 125?
Eveyone has their own numbers and their own stops, but at least you got the direction right long term.
Now I get it!! This turning thing is unique to the USD/JPY. I thought markets went forever in one direction. What a dorky article.
Comparing the USD to the JPY is like comparing a Cream Soda to a Root Beer when what you really want is a shot of Jack Daniels.
Where is Stolper when you need him?
I wouldn't listen to Bankruptcy of America More Looting if they told me the dollar's purchasing power was dying. I'll be happy to come to my own conclusions based on my lying eyes instead of a corrupt major bank.
BofAML's Macneil Curry is another technical analyst who is often wrong. Is there no info available from other BAC analysts on these markets?
Why are JGBs bid today?
