So they do not have any levels, so this gets longer. Far away from any intervention for the now. Long USDJPY until is the way to go.

Each recent intervention has occurred higher than the prior "level".

April's intervention wasn't until USD/JPY hit 160.717.

You'd have to think any pre-existing level would be around this point....BUT, there are likely many other factors in play. That said, it could happen tonight/tomorrow and no one would be surprised.
