The fall in the U.S. stock market encouraged traders to cut back on their positions as long traders felt exposure to the risk of a prolonged break in the stock market.

This decrease in risk appetite prompted the selling of higher-yielding assets financed by loans in Japan.

Technically, the inability to follow through to the upside after Wednesday's change in trend to up produced a closing price reversal top in the USD JPY.

A break through 107.17 will confirm this top, indicating the potential for a break to 105.87 to 105.37.

Forex (off-exchange foreign currency futures and options or FX) trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The value of currencies may fluctuate and investors may lose all or more than their original investments. Risks also include, but are not limited to, the potential for changing political and/or economic conditions that may substantially affect the price and/or liquidity of a currency. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is already factored into market prices. Prices in the underlying cash or physical markets do not necessarily move in tandem with futures and options prices.

Loss-limiting strategies such as stop loss orders may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Likewise, strategies using combinations of positions such as "spread" or "straddle" trades may be just as risky as simple long and short positions.
