March is also a big options expiry month and historically we have seen significant repositioning around this time. We are also coming to the end of the Japanese financial year which may also be having an impact. Quantitative Easing (QE) in Europe has been the trigger for the collapse in the currency but note it is much more like Japanese than US QE.
