On the Ichimoku’s Weekly Chart, USD/JPY is breaking out of the kumo resistance.
Given this is a Weekly Chart, a breakout above it could mean a 2 year move.
The last time the USD/JPY breakdown from the Weekly kumo support is back in 2007.

Yen is up.
I assume that is due to carry trade unwinding elsewhere.
That may explain all the Aussie going down, SGD gyrating etc.

A Review of USD/JPY pair
usd/jpy now trades at ~89.90...few months ago, in Nov2009, it was 84.79 at its strongest against the dollar...
noteworthy, the only other time that usd/jpy went below 85, was 15 years ago in 1995....at 79.95
from a monthly chart, i can see that usd/jpy is poised to head higher as it has broken out of a very long term downward channel resistance...this happened in Mar2010, when usd/jpy pair traded above 90.50....
this month, it weakened to 88.06, which incidentally coincided with that downward trend line that now serves as a strong support...
in brief... Long Swing/Position play for usd/jpy.....with target at 94 within 1-2 months...
your thoughts, please... thanks...

Daily Chart:
Resistance 1 at 90.5
Resistance 2 at 91.44
Monthly Chart
You are right that there is possible support at 85 with a target resistance at 94.
Having said the above, my bet is that support at 85 may not hold. (<< gut feel)

TOL:-
There's a rumor that the program to weaken the Yen would cost about US$19.8b. That sounds like a very small amount. Not a "shock & awe" amount
Is that enough to go against the currency traders ?
If not, then the Yen will continue to go up and the Japanese market will continue to fall.
Or is the US$19.8b only the first salvo and when you take a contrarian position, they will then whack you, probably with the help from the US Feds ?

And if you go back to previous postings on this topic, you will recall a lot of American "experts" asking you to short the Yen because of the high Japanese government debts, their Demographic situation, the lost two decades etc..
Listen to these "experts" at your own risk
