Did the Bank of Japan just tip its hand to Yen short-sellers?

Last week's surprise rate hike from the BoJ sent shockwaves through the USD/JPY pair and broader markets. However, recent comments from the BoJ indicate that they may hold off on further rate hikes until the market stabilizes. The BoJ is also counting on a soft landing for the US economy—a scenario now seemingly less likely. This might pave the way for a bounce in USD/JPY, which remains long-term bullish above 140.18.
