Pair's Outlook
On Friday, the European currency appreciated against the Japanese Yen, not only piercing the two immediate resistances, but also testing the third one. However, the EUR/JPY stabilised at 136.57, a new three-week high, with the 100-day SMA now providing support. Due to a bank holiday in Japan, the Euro has more chances of outperforming the Yen; the positive outlook is also bolstered by bullish technical indicators. Gains should be limited by the cluster around 137.00, as the cross is approaching the down-trend.
Traders' Sentiment
Market sentiment remains bullish, with 53% of traders now holding long positions, compared to 51% on Friday. At the same time, the portion of orders to buy the Euro declined from 67 to 47%.
