Analysis and Recommendation:

The USD/JPY remains powerful trading at 78.18 as risk aversion remains the overall market theme, as investor are not quite sure what to expect from the FOMC and the ECB and they are not sure if the ECB can follow through with their promises of last week.

Japan releases almost all of its eco data at one time and this began today, with a series of surprises, unemployment dipped in Japan, but household spending declined more than expected. And manufacturing PMI dipped from prior report and is well under the magical 50 number reporting at 47.9.
