The data were a surprise and the yen appreciated against the dollar for the second straight day.
The yen appreciated against the dollar on Friday testing bids around the 89.45 level. Fujii said that the Japanese economy is still very unstable stating that it's still too early to know if a second extra budget is needed. Next interest rate decision is Nov 19.

In my own opinion, the USDJPY is a currency pair I used to fear, but I now know how to handle it. This pair is moving in an indecisive manner. The dominant trend is bullish, but there is a great barrier to further bullish interest (the barrier is at 100.00). Whereas, the price is not supposed to go below the demand line at 98.50 – for this current bullish bias not to be in jeopardy.

I agree with you. The long term trend of UsdJpy is bullish, but the psycological resistance of 100 will be strong for several weeks. After the violent rise, a strengthening is necessary, let’s say up to 92/94?
