EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Bear flag seen in hourly chart

• The EUR/JPY hourly chart has created a bear flag – a bearish continuation pattern. A break below the flag support of 126.00 would signal a resumption of the sell-off from the pole high of 129.01 and would open the doors to 123.00 (target as per the measured height method).
• The hourly relative strength index (RSI) has adopted a bearish bias (below 50.00), but the 14-day RSI is reporting oversold condition. So, the Aug. 13 low of 125.14 could hold for now.
• The path of least resistance remains to the downside as the 100-hour moving average is located below the 200-hour moving average.
