"At a time when the U.S. fiscal cliff is rapidly overtaking peripheral euro-zone issues as a cause for concern, the inability of the [euro] to capitalize on this is a bit disconcerting"

Pair's Outlook
In continuation to the rally incepted at 101.11, being the current location of the 200-day SMA, the price has effortlessly pierced through the remaining resistances that separated it from the bearish trend-line presently standing at 103.67. EUR/JPY is expected to have a hard time overcoming it, since it is also an intersection point with an up-trend resistance line drawn form a low reached on 24th of July. Accordingly, even if the bulls remain in control, a bearish correction is highly probable in the near term.
