Pair's Outlook
EUR/JPY tries to establish a bullish trend after French Flash Manufacturing (45.3 act./44.6 est.) and Services (47.3 act./45.1 est.) rose more than expected. If bullish holds the ground, 101.29 level (R1 Weekly) is likely to be the initial resistance line. A breach of this level would pave the way to 102.13 (Upper Bollinger band; R2 Weekly) and 103.74/53 (200-day ma; R1 Monthly) levels.
