I noted here
Tuesday May 27: 'The way buyers seem to be slowly taking over in the Japanese yen crosses is also catching my attention. Except for having already taken a long position in the AUD/JPY a couple of hours ago, however, I am not yet ready to commit further funds in order to finance a longer-term position'.
That confidence thing changed only 72 hours later, though. On Friday May 30, minutes before the weekend, I shorted the Japanese yen via some of its most popular crosses - buying the EUR/JPY at around 164.20, the GBP/JPY at around 209.20, and the NZD/JPY at around 82.70.
Last Wednesday (June 11) I felt compelled to double my short yen exposure - and did it solely via the GBP/JPY, buying the cross at around 210.50. Finally, I redoubled the entire exposure today in the early European time - and did it again solely by going long the British pound against the Japanese yen, at around 211.90.
Holding these positions so far turned out to be quite a bumpy road, but I'm not yet looking for the exit door.
