"We won't hesitate in taking additional monetary easing steps if we feel that risks have heightened enough and that the economy may undershoot our forecasts even after this month's monetary easing"
- Takehiro Sato, BoJ board member (based on CNBC)

Pair's Outlook

Support at 77.68/63 appears to be unable to halt the price from declining, although it is too early to say, as only a close below will confirm intentions of the pair to go lower. Subsequent area lies at 77.43/18 and for now is deemed to be impenetrable. Accordingly, it should not allow USD/JPY to reach 76.89 or 76.49, but rather initiate activity of bulls and commence long-awaited recovery.

Traders' Sentiment
Trader' sentiment remains strongly positive towards USD/JPY, as 73% of orders opened on the pair are long, while only 27% of the market participants consider appreciation of the Japanese Yen as a more likely scenario. Such bullish stance of traders is also supported by the ratio between buy and sell orders—78% to 22%, respectively.
