BoJ; yen; intrevention games

IF some BoJ intiative should happen this week,
I like to think Friday would have best odds of BoJ & Min-o-Fin causing goodly mayhem
It is easy to say that NAS100 had topped after looking at this chart with hindsight.
Having taken out the lows for the past 2 weeks, NAS100 is on the defensive showing a potential target at 16190. This is not a forecast, just pointing out what I see as a key level on this chart.
Given how fickle this index can be, watch the reaction to earnings later on.
Consensus forecasts are for growth to have slowed to 2.4% from 3.4% in the final quarter of last year – with core PCE inflation estimates jumping to 3.4% from 2.0%.
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Megacap Meta (META.O), opens new tab revived Big Tech jitters on Wall St overnight as its pumped-up stock balked at an ostensibly decent earnings update late Wednesday – but the mining sector was abuzz about BHP’s (BHP.AX), opens new tab possible $39 billion mega bid for Anglo American (AAL.L), opens new tab.
In a reverse of the positive way markets treated Tesla’s beaten-down shares (TSLA.O), opens new tab after a revenue miss the prior day, Meta’s headline beat triggered an out-of-hours 13% plunge in its shares as investors appeared to focus on the scale of its outsize spending on artificial intelligence projects.
NQ dragged lower by Meta (-13%) post-earnings, DXY softer & Antipodeans benefit from metals prices
Good morning USA traders, hope your day is off to a great start! Here are the top 4 things you need to know for today’s market.
4 Things You Need to Know
European bourses are mostly lower, US equities are mixed, with the NQ underperforming after Meta (-13.1%) results
Dollar is lower, Antipodeans benefit from higher metals prices, JPY is softer holding above 155.50 against the USD
Bonds are rangebound awaiting impetus from Tier 1 data later today
Crude is slightly lower in absence of energy-specific newsflow, XAU benefits from the weaker dollar, base metals are mostly firmer
WHEN YOU SEE TWO CURRENCIES MOVING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS (JPY DOWN VS THE USD, OTHERS MOVING HIGHER), IT IS THE CLEAREST SIGN THAT CROSSES ARE DRIVING THE MARKET.
IF OTHER CURRENCIES DID NOT MOVE HIGHER, USDJPY WOULD BE EVEN HIGHER TO PRODUCE THE SAME CROSS-CURRENCY MOVES.
GBPUSD, which fell sharply to end last week on shifting interest rate cut expectations has reversed course as the market reassesses that outlook.’
This saw UK 10-year bond yield rise 9BPS to close yesterday at the highest level for the year.
Combine that with JPY weakness and a sharp GBPJPY rise, you can see why there has been a GBPUSD reversal.
GBP is also firmer on other crosses (e.g. EURGBP is lower as well).
Looking at this chart, it needs to hold 1.2497 *=(suggests 1.25 as well) to maintain a strong bid although support is seen as long as it stays above 1.2423.
I am thinking should do it for now in EurJpy at 166.20. Also, correction on earlier post regarding intervention, if I recall the last one that actually did some real damage was a Friday US session. Regardless, short side preferable.
