{quote} 186.600 already hit. I stopped out
the move by CHFJPY is only small so far - go back and look in the 100 years of currency moves and monster moves have happened in currencies - most people don't do their research on the markets. bullmarkets can go a lot longer than the people expect. prices are never too high to keep going higher

CHF hides around safe-haven status, while JPY has lost that Status.

The carry trades are so high. The investors are lending money in yen to put it in different assets. But like 1998 it can turn very quick. and then you will see a huge drop.

If a crisis or intervention happens today - could also be a change in the interest rates - the reversal would likely be just as brutal as in 1998 — but this time in favor of the Yen.

That means a sharp move up for JPY, and correspondingly down for CHF/JPY, USD/JPY, and GBP/JPY.

yen currency is becoming toilet paper. All thanks to BOJ's governor Ueda and his cronies.

Japan's inflation is currently above the Bank of Japan's 2% target, with the core CPI at 3.1% in July 2025. with boj 0.50 interest, why will yen appreciate?
