The market is always right. The corollary to this is that I am usually wrong; especially when it comes to EUR/JPY. I though this cross would be back under 150.00 by now, after the G8 FX meeting of 4 months ago. I got that very wrong.

A break now above 167.70 will probably put some serious strain on any short positions left in the market. Additionally, AUD/JPY is now breaking above 102.00 technical resistance and that is one very expensive pair to be short.

There is also talk of large stops above 108.60 in USD/JPY and if they go off, it will be hard to pull the EUR/JPY up before 170.
