"The pressure on the BOJ is so strong that I don't think they can avoid easing next month after the results of the election"- Yasuo Yamamoto, Mizuho Research Institute (based on Reuters)
Pair's Outlook
Even though with a little hesitation EUR/JPY still managed to climb over an intersection point of an up-trend and a down-trend resistance lines at 103.63, meaning that a sharp two-day rally of 270 pips initiated last Wednesday carries a significant amount of an upside potential. The closest targets are situated at 104.95 and 105.29/48, but are likely to strongly oppose additional gains of the Euro.
Traders' SentimentThe share of traders with negative sentiment towards the Euro increases and has already reached 57% of the market, while bulls constitute 43% of the total amount and lose their positions. As for the orders, the ratio between buy and sell orders is also in favour of a bearish scenario, being 47% to 53%, accordingly.
