EUR/JPY fails to surpass the previous day close

The EUR/JPY pair found the previous day close level at 135.00 hard to surpass and the market bears dominated today. The cross strived to retest some of the past strong levels such as the May 2013 high at 133.79. Despite the temporary downward move, the pair could possibly gain some interest from some investors, as the Alligator indicator forms a bullish sentiment.
