Key Quotes:
"Both the EUR and the JPY, weakened against the greenback. Nevertheless, the yen maintains its background strength, as despite a strong improvement in markets' mood ever since the European opening, the Japanese currency barely eased.
Technically, and for the short term, the 1 hour chart for the EUR/JPY shows that the price remained capped by its 100 SMA, currently around 127.30, while the technical indicators stand flat in neutral territory. In the 4 hours chart, the price remains well below its moving averages, while the technical indicators have turned slightly lower right below their mid-lines, lacking strength, but maintaining the risk towards the downside."
