“It is near this point that these same professionals will simply say to themselves that the USD/JPY range of the 6-month rectangle going back to December 2014 was6.2 big figures, and if you add that number to the intra-day high of 122.03 back on March 10, 2015 you get to 128-130 pretty easily,” adds Azous. “And whatthat means is if you pay 125 and the target is 128, you can rationalize that internally.”
