As Jamie mentioned earlier, there was talk that Kampo was on the bid in USD/JPY around 88.60. They are often seen as an instrument of government intervention to slow down market moves, or in this case keep the market away from 88.00/10, below which are very heavy stops. They will usually deal in significant amounts (hundreds of millions). There are also said to be some very solid corporate offers at 89.20/30 with trader stops above this level. The market is now eyeing a break of this range to set the tone for the next medium-term move.

Good luck today.

    You know me Burt, stubborn to the end. I’ve got a stop above 83.35 and am feeling less confident now as the momentum has gone out of the downmove.
