  • if necessary can add stimulus in 3 dimensions

Earlier I had this story behind the initial drop from 107.50 and 118.50

Yen pairs dumped but USDJPY finding demand into 105.80 yet again. A real line in the sand and option expiry interest there today.

Currently 106.14 with GBPJPY tumbling and pushing GBPUSD through 1.3200 to post 1.3156 before bouncing back to 1.3190

EURUSD 1.1034 underpinned by large option interest I've been highlighting this morning in various posts/comments.

Blink and you miss it time again.
