• USD/JPY currently in the middle of Tuesday's 151.23-152.22 range
• Break of 7 Feb 150.93 low opens Psychological 150.00 and 3 Dec 148.65 low
• Bias down while USD remains weaker and Japan looks to normalise policy
• Sellers touted at 200dma 152.68 and base of 153.76-156.17 daily cloud
• Falling FX option implied volatility signals low realised volatility risk
• But, options retain a fairly strong premium for downside over upside strikes
