Olivier Korber, Research Analyst at Societe Generale, suggests that the USD/JPY currently presents a very asymmetric profile with the next move likely to be either a small bounce or a sharp break towards 95.

The BoJ could still boost forward guidance, but reversing yen gains will prove challenging.”
