EUR/JPY is bound to a range and longing for escape
FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/JPY is lying low in a 10-pips range, as traders are still trying to digest the Thursday fall.
EUR/JPY doesn’t know where to go
Long-term picture has hardly changed for EUR/JPY since Friday as the cross has been glued to a narrow range. It seems that both bulls and bears are comfortable enough in 137.80/90 zone, but this is a deceptive quiet. Japanese industrial production numbers published later today may serve as a trigger that might get the cross moving. This is a second-tier data with low market-moving potential, but it might be enough to set the ball rolling, if the numbers deviate from «no change» forecast. The bulls need to break above 138.00 to get the control over the situation. while the bears need to settle below 137.70 support.
What are today’s key EUR/JPY levels?
Today's central pivot point can be found at 138.04, with support below at 137.66, 136.47 and 136.26, with resistance above at 138.06, 138.27, and 138.46. Hourly Moving Averages are mixed with the 200SMA at 138.53 and the daily 20EMA at 138.58. Hourly RSI is bullish at 50.
