Early USD/JPY rise to 10-mo highs imploded by big JOLTS, confidence misses
Overbought and bearishly diverging RSIs vs the new price highs weighs
As does the 11.5bp dive in 2-yr Tsy yields and curve steepening
That steepening due a Nov Fed hike no longer being favored
And 2024 cuts of more than 1% again being priced in
Whether those expectations fall or rise is up to PCE & NFP Thur & Fri
If USD/JPY closes below its 200-HMA at 145.86 props by 145 are eyed next
The 38.2%, 50% Fibo's of the 138.05-147.375 rise on EBS are at 143.81/2.71
A post-NFP & ISM close Fri below last week's lows puts the Fibos in play
If rest of week's US data are firm, Fed-BoJ divergence will limit losses
