USD/JPY touch firmer on the day. Earlier this morning had reports of sell orders clustered in 81.30/40 area and they’ve so far capped topside. Not sure for how much longer.

Above there, more orders seen gathered up at 82.00/05. Last week had been getting reports sell orders around 82.00 “huge.” Been getting reports this morning that some Japanese exporters have been lifting their sell orders to around the 83.00 level, so suspect the interest around 82.00 isn’t as heavy as earlier reported.
