[ANNOUNCE] EUR/JPY remained steady within the first half of Friday, and it seemed that the same lack of direction would prevail until the end of the day.[/ANNOUNCE] 

However, Catalonia declaring independence put downward pressure on the common European currency. As a result, the rate breached the ascending channel and was pushed down to the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement circa 132.00. 

If examining the pair from a broader perspective, it is apparent that the rate has been stranded in the 131.80/134.50 territory since mid-September. 

The rate failed to overcome the southern barrier late on Friday. This suggests that the Euro might appreciate during the following trading sessions. 

In the short-term, it is likely that the rate remains stranded between the weekly PP and the 55-hour SMA at 132.70 and the 131.80 mark.
