Yen Shorts Reel in Losses as BOJ Tightening Fears Mount

The US dollar against the Japanese yen has seen a sharp decline in recent days. The USD/JPY has fallen by around 6% below its July high, with bearish momentum pointing sharply lower.

The fall is attributed to several factors, including BOJ tightening expectations and softer Fed pricing. Additionally, there are concerns that the Ministry of Finance (MOF) may have intervened in the market after September 2, although this remains unconfirmed.

The MOF deployed a record ¥15.4 trillion intervention to cap USD/JPY at its July top. With bearish momentum accelerating sharply over the past four days, price action is beginning to resemble the dominant bearish structure mentioned in prior articles.
