Love your analyses and your work in general.

In this case, it appears you got the movement of the USD/JPY wrong.

The yen rose due to the deleveraging.

Before: 1 USD > 160 JPY (strong USD)

After: 1 USD < 150 JPY (less strong USD)

All other assets fell indeed

Thanks for catching this, yes, the USD fell as it yielded less relatively and the Yen rose.
