"The yen has outperformed since the mini-devaluation of renminbi which has resulted in an accelerated sell-off in other Asian currencies. The recent strengthening of the yen is reinforcing the ongoing correction lower in Japanese equities." 
- Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi (based on WBP Online) 

Pair's Outlook 
Even though the European currency outperformed the Japanese Yen on Monday, the pair still failed to climb above the July low of 133.29. Nevertheless, due to broadly weaker Asian currencies today, the Yen is expected to weaken against the Euro today as well, clearing the path for a rally towards the weekly pivot point. However, a stronger resistance rests around 134.30, represented by the monthly S1 and the Bollinger band. Meanwhile, technical studies are giving bearish signals, suggesting the EUR/JPY is to slump today. 

Traders' Sentiment 
Bears keep outnumbering the bulls, with 58% of all positions being short (previously 55%). At the same time, the number of purchase orders, however, added 11 percentage points to 39%.
