EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Faces rejection near 200-hour SMA, bearish trend re-established

   “¢   The cross this week’s goodish rebound from one-month lows and met with some fresh supply at 200-hour SMA, also coinciding with 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the 131.11-128.51 recent downfall.

   “¢   A modest pickup in safe-haven demand, amid some pressure around European equity markets, was seen as one of the key factors prompting fresh selling around the cross.  

   “¢   The 129.00 handle was a key area for bullish traders and the fact it has decisively broken below the mentioned support now seems to have re-established the near-term bearish trend.
