Update: USD/JPY Breaking Down Again

US$ could be about to retest the low vs. yen. I’m watching the weak support level at 78.61 USD/JPY. Currently trading around 78.71. It looks like it’s going to break down again.

—End Update—

80.43 was the number.

Here’s a monthly chart to fit it all in. This is going back to 1995.

The intervention/manipulation that occurred to bring this back is probably unimaginable. Even so, that 80.43 level is busted.

Here’s the five minute resolution that shows the wheels coming off the cart:

What’s the significance of this?

Everything from Japan is going to get much more expensive.
