Late last night, Japan's Nikkei 225 touched the 12,815 20% correction [4] level and bounced. With the collapse stronger in JPY this morning (sending JPY-carry-traders scrambling) that level has been well-and-truly breached with the Nikkei 225 now trading 12,760 - down 20.25% from the 5/22 highs of 16,020. It appears the "buy-the-dip-mentality" is lacking among market participants that are decidedly one-way on this ship [5].
