Pair's Outlook
As was anticipated, the European single currency weakened against the Yen, unable to maintain trade above the 123.00 major level yesterday. According to technical indicators, the EUR/JPY currency pair is to sustain another decline today. The closest support remains unchanged, namely the Bollinger band around 121.08, while the weekly PP and the 20-day SMA form a strong resistance area circa 123.40. Since the bearish scenario is expected to prevail, the 121.70 level should be considered as a potential support, as it prevented the given cross from falling deeper since the middle of April.
Traders' Sentiment
Market sentiment shifted to the bearish side, as 57% of all open positions are now short (previously 66%). Meanwhile, the number of sell orders increased from 51 to 55%.
