Major correction on the cards?

The rally in USD/JPY from early March to early May was huge, driven by a combination of a soaring greenback and a BoJ determined to support its yield curve control policy tool.

But the last couple of weeks have brought some relief in the pair, driven primarily by the US dollar paring gains against the broader market.
