EURJPY is firmer today as the cross extends the rebound from Monday’s low. MA studies are in a bear-mode position and this suggests that the latest recovery is likely a correction. The move higher is allowing a recent oversold condition to unwind. Initial resistance to watch is 159.93, the 20-day EMA. Key short-term resistance is at 161.09, the 50-day EMA, where a break would highlight a stronger reversal. The bear trigger lies at 155.61, the Feb 10 low.
