I wrote last week:
The JPY net short seems very small for a trade that’s been such a great one. If specs pile back in, that could get us to 1.10.
Those specs piled in and we’ve gotten close to 1.10. I still think there’s lots of room in USD/JPY longs — we’ll probably get to -200K when we get to 120.
