Pair's Outlook
The second resistance limited the EUR/JPY currency pair's volatility yesterday, causing the cross to close trade 133.13. Although the cluster is formed by many levels, the 200-day SMA around 134.18 is the key resistance, which kept the pair at bay for three weeks now. Technical indicators are bolstering the possibility of a rally today, but nonetheless, the Euro remains under the risk of edging lower, despite being supported by the weekly PP and 55-day SMA. The sell-off could reach the second target, namely the monthly R1 and weekly S1 at 132.30.
