Today Mitsubishi President blasted Japanese Government for allowing Yen to strengthen to the levels (81.00) that badly affect the balance sheet of his organization. This is just one visible salvo. There is a chorus of demand from Japanese business community to weaken the yen. Though BOJ announced plans similar to US Fed (to buy long term bonds) it hasn't had a similar effect on yen.
Thus, one can expect BOJ intervention in Yen time and again to stem the fall of USDJPY. They did that back in 2003, intervening some 30 times. The best advise is not to go short in USDJPY unless there are other reasons (like hedging).
