Not only is DXY 103.00's overbought but the crucial 105.00 line approaches. DXY at 105.00's is not expected to break higher as this vital break represents a massive change to currency markets.

Overbought DXY sent USD/JPY to extraordinary depths of overbought. USD/JPY began trading overbought at 133.00's and 134.00's and now 137.00's. Longs were impossible especially as USD/JPY not only approaches the vital 152.00 line but massive overbought begins at 126.00's and 120.00's and many averages down to 104.00's.
USD/JPY overbought means short, medium and long long term. To understand the overbought 126.00 line, the BOJ line is at 125.00's and this line will drop to 123.00's on a lower USD/JPY.
The BOJ views tops from 200 pips. Last top reported from the BOJ was 140.00's. Today 142.00's. The new BOJ interest rate arrangement disregards the need to intervene yet the BOJ last intervened at USD/JPY 149.00's. USD/JPY now at 137.00's deserves deep caution to the bOJ as the BOJ knows exactly what they are doing. We are not dealing with Stupid when it comes to USD/JPY.

Note 149.11 to 149.21 and 149.49 to 149.59. The numbers reveal automatically, the spreads are far to wide and the price to high. A lower EUR/JPY must see a daily decrease to spread numbers within the price path.
