This is almost like an arbitrage. Why? We can expect FED to not raise the rate hike especially after the durable goods data release today was apparently not good putting pressure on the central bank to remain dovish. In addition the BREXIT effect is still in effect. Plus, tomorrow we have BOJ rate decision which we can expect them to remain either stable or cutting the rate even further which I believe is the latter due to a possible new stimulus package by the government. Even if they don't cut the rate US's rate is higher than the Japan's rate anyway giving an upside momentum to USD. If we look at the graph, we can see that the momentum is there; there was a strong uptrend in USDJPY before this and we can expect the movement to continue its prior momentum.
