EUR/JPY probing 130.00 as JPY firms
FXstreet.com (New York) - The EUR/JPY technical cross is suffering from a strengthening of the JPY Tuesday morning during Asian trading, recently touching below the 130.00 level (129.99 session low).
EUR/JPY strategic bias
According to Valeria Bednarik, an analyst at FXstreet.com, “The hourly chart shows the EUR/JPY below its 100 and 200-day SMAs, as indicators head south in negative territory, supporting further falls. A clear break below 130.00 is then required to confirm another leg lower, eyeing then 128.80 level.”
EUR/JPY technical levels
Despite bottoming out below the 130.00 level, the EUR/JPY has now recovered off its lows, moving back towards 130.10 in these moments (-0.16% off its opening). Technically speaking, the EUR/JPY faces strong support at 129.99 (August 1 low/session low), and a break below this figure will open up additional means of correction at 129.85 (July 30 low), ahead of 129.60 (July 29 low), and 129.38 (July 31 low).
