The USD/JPY pair has fallen 0.6% intraday. The currencies had flatlined for three days as Japan's central bank intervened in currency markets to keep the yen from strengthening.

Reuters credits positioning in advance of today's Fed meeting for the weaker dollar / stronger yen.

The analysis uses the daily Person's Proprietary Signal, developed by John Person, and the monthly Person's Pivot, which he also developed.

These are black box signals -- the "proprietary" means that Mr. Person knows how they work under the hood, and I don't. But they have shown a fair degree of success in identifying good entry and exit points, and I find them useful.

On the glance, "pps open" means the price at the start of trading in the United States on the day the signal appeared.
