    Nothing to add as we continue with tiny movessideways, this one close to the May and Junehighs around 113.50/114.40. While below thisarea we shall continue to allow for anotherimminent if unspectacular downside probe. Thisis more likely to occur when and if dollar/yenprobes below the key 85.00 level. As always the

    deeper the downside test the greater the risk ofintervention and the bigger the correctivebounce that follows, making trading strategyvery difficult. One-month at-the-money impliedvolatility should hold above its long term meanat 11.00%. Slightly worrying to our view thoughis that not only have daily moving averagescrossed to a buy but prices are actuallymanaging to edge into a very large cloud.

    Small weekly ranges dominate and all elementsof this weekly Ichimoku cloud chart point to ashort position. Perhaps the Lagging Span willstruggle with the large dark candle of lateFebruary. Note that momentum has beenbearish throughout the whole of 2010 and we

    remind that the all-time low was 118.80 inJanuary 2009. In 1995 Sterling/yen set a low at128.20, underlining the pounds long term trendto weakness. Though above its long termmean, one-month at-the-money impliedvolatility remains relatively subdued. Meanregression since 1980 lies at 142.00, onestandard deviation below that at 114.50,something that might be a possibility althoughcurrently not our favoured view.
