  • Concerns over the Italian fiscal sector, particularly around the recently announced 2.4% budget deficit, keep the single currency dented.
     
  • The Italian 10 year bond yield gone up by more than 25% in past three trading days. German and Italian 10 year spread highest in 3 weeks.
     
  • EUR/JPY trades 0.67% lower on the day, at 131.08 at the time of writing, intraday bias bearish.
     
  • The pair finds strong support at 131 levels (converged 21-EMA and 200-DMA), break below to see weakness.
     
  • 5-DMA is downward sloping and we see upside only on close above.
