EUR/JPY technical perspective
“The pair posted some mild gains on the day, albeit the hourly chart shows a clear lack of strength, as indicators diverge lower in positive territory, yet stands above moving averages, with 100 and 200 SMAs converging now at 138.40 immediate support”, says Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXStreet.
The 4 hours chart also show a lack of upward momentum while price can’t break above its moving averages, increasing the risk to the downside notes Bednarik.
