- EUR/JPY struggles to extend break above 200-DMA resistance at 131.90.
- The pair has slipped lower with a shooting star formation at highs.
- Price has dipped below 5-DMA at 131.10 and is currently at 131.32 levels.
- The pair has retraced dip below 1H 110-EMA and we evidence a hammer formation on the hourly candle.
- Break below 1H 110-EMA at 131.29 will see further weakness. Scope then for test of 1H 200-SMA at 130.82.
- Technical indicators on daily charts still support upside, break above 200-DMA raises scope further gains.
- Next major resistance above 200-DMA lies at 61.8% Fib at 132.58. On the flipside, break below 5-DMA to see minor weakness. Break below 110-EMA will negate bullish bias.
Support levels - 131.41 (5-DMA), 131.06 (50% Fib), 130.36 (110-EMA), 130
Resistance levels - 131.90 (200-DMA), 132, 132.58 (61.8% Fib)
