Consolidation and some kind of correction are awaited due to the overbought readings on momentum indicators over daily basis.
A significant price correction of the USD gains vs. JPY is long overdue and will start as soon as the market has fully priced in all expectations of future policies by the Japanese government and the Bank of Japan.
The yen could weaken a bit more, but the Japanese authorities could wish to slow the weakening towards the G-20 summit.
