FxWirePro: EUR/JPY recovery capped at 125 levels, further upside only on breaks above

  • EUR/JPY edged higher from session lows at 123.93, recovery in the pair was capped at 125.06.

  • ECB policy meeting on 10th March is a major risk event for the pair.

  • Growth and inflation expectations have deteriorated considerably in the euro area raising the likelihood that the ECB will decide a comprehensive package of measures next Thursday. 

  • If the ECB along with a rate cut introduces a tiered interest rate or completely exempts a part of excess reserves from the negative interest rate, the EUR should come under stronger pressure.

  • Technicals are biased higher, momentum is higher, pair is holding above 5 and 10 DMA supports at 123.80 and 123.95 respectively.

  • Markets already priced-in 10 bps deposit rate cut, and if the ECB fails to deliver, we could see downside pressure.

  • For now, the major is capped at 125 levels, and any breaks above could see gains upto 125.56. Below 5-DMA, downside upto 122.45 likely
