"The market was caught off guard by the ECB delivering less than what had been drummed up in expectations, and that in itself is not only stronger for the euro, but it's also a negative for risk appetite." 
- Saxo Bank A/S (based on Bloomberg) 

Pair's Outlook 
The single currency managed to rebound on Tuesday, gaining a total of 20 pips against the Yen. However, the trading range, where the EUR/JPY is currently stuck, was not broken. The 55-day SMA is still providing support at 133.31, but the resistance around the 200-day one weakened today, as the Bollinger band is no longer bolstering it. As a result, the Euro might take this opportunity and pierce the immediate resistance at 134.10, which then is likely to lead to the test of the 100-day SMA and a verification of the down-trend at 134.81. 

Traders' Sentiment 
Bullish traders' sentiment returned to its Monday's level of 74%, while the portion of buy orders dropped 27% points to only 30%.
