A bear cycle in EURJPY remains present and this week’s move down reinforces current conditions. The cross has cleared 158.24, the 76.4% retracement of the Dec 3 - 30 bull cycle, has been pierced. The breach paves the way for a move towards 156.18, the Dec 3 low and a key support. Initial firm resistance to watch, and a pivot level, is 161.60, the 50-day EMA. The short-term trend is oversold, gains would allow this condition to unwind.
