Recap As expected, ninja started weak and failed to clear even Y-1. That opened the door to Y-3. Flushed down to Y-3 and bounced. Closed the week below Y-1 and above midpoint.
Outlook The flush was partially a lucky drop (not that I am not happy) thanks to the problematic BOJ officials. At this point though, the bounce was a bear flag on 4 hours.
