Key Quotes:
"Weakening stocks have favored the JPY, while the lack of momentum in the EUR did the rest. The pair trades near a fresh daily low in the 123.80 region, and the 1 hour chart shows that its back below its 100 and 200 SMAs, whilst the technical indicators failed to overcome their mid-lines before turning sharply lower, favoring additional declines for the upcoming Asian session.
In the 4 hours chart, the price was rejected from a bearish 100 SMA, whilst the technical indicators have accelerated their declines after breaking below their mid-lines, also in line with further slides."
