The Last Samurai : Japanese Yen Futures
March Japanese Yen Futures In the second week of December I wrote a bullish piece on the Yen market. I now contend that it has reached a fairly significant inflection point. This +/- .94 level represents a channel line projection and the .618 retracement from the highs of the summer of 2016. It also appears to me …
