Weston Nakamura once again calls for "top-tick" on NKY and NDX futures, using his newly identified trading range on USDJPY, and explains how markets are severely misreading the latest out of Bank of Japan policy intent, dispelling Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Uchida's "dovish remarks" as the explanation for the global equity rally and yen sell-off during the Japan trading day, and suggests a unique angle on accelerated expectations for Fed rate cuts due to the Japan market-originated global turmoil.
