FxWirePro: EUR/JPY rejected at 128 handle, slips lower to hover around 5-DMA, bias bearish

  • EUR/JPY has retraced from session highs at 128, hovers at 127.90 at the time of writing.
     
  • The pair is recovering from lows of 126.64 (June 19), but remains below 21-EMA, bias lower.
     
  • Successive spinning top formations on daily candles suggests indecision.
     
  • We expect further weakness on bearish signals on technical indicators along with the above fundamental factors.
     
  • Italian politics emerges as the exclusive driver for the pair’s weakness. Market participants keep focus on speeches coming from the ECB forum in Portugal for further impetus.
     
  • Next major bear target lies at 38.2% Fib at 126.69. Break below to see test of 125.25 (major trendline).
     
  • On the upside, 55-EMA is major resistance. Bearish invalidation only on break above.

Support levels - 127.84 (5-DMA), 127, 126.69 (38.2% Fib), 126, 125.25 (major trendline)

Resistance levels - 128, 128.56 (21-EMA), 128.63 (55-EMA)
