FXY Short Yen Bounce (Wait-for-Rejection) Strategy
Created
Thesis
The Bank of Japan hiked to 1.25% but Governor Ueda sent mixed messages about future hikes, which is the bare minimum the market needed to keep dumping the yen. A report that authorities ran a currency 'rate check' shows officials are worried about the slide, which can cause sharp but shallow bounces — those bounces are entry points, not trend changes. Meanwhile the dollar is riding its best stretch in months on more Fed hikes, so the interest-rate gap keeps widening in the dollar's favor. Shorting the yen into strength-against-it rallies captures that widening gap.
