Recent gains in EURJPY have allowed an oversold trend condition to unwind. For now, resistance at 160.97, the 50-day EMA, remains intact. It has been pierced, but a clear break is required to strengthen bullish conditions and signal scope for an extension towards 162.71, a Fibonacci retracement. For bears, the cross has pulled back from its recent highs. A stronger reversal would refocus attention on 155.61, the Feb 10 low and bear trigger.

USDJPY has pulled back from last week’s high. The latest move down highlights that - for now - resistance around the 50-day EMA, remains intact. The average is at 154.36. A clear break of the 50-day average is required to highlight a stronger bullish reversal. This would open 155.89, the Feb 3 high. Key support and the bear trigger is unchanged at 150.93, the Feb 7 low. Clearance of this level would resume the bear cycle that started on Jan 10.
