​​​EUR/JPY slips further still

EUR/JPY's fall through Friday's ¥159.91 low made us neutralise our medium-term outlook with the late September low at ¥158.11 representing a possible downside target.

​Resistance can now be spotted between the 19 November low and the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at ¥161.49 to ¥162.35. Further up lies the ¥163.60 October peak.

​USD/JPY probes support

USD/JPY weighs on the 200-day SMA at ¥151.95 below which lies the 6 November low at ¥151.30. This level needs to hold for the medium-term uptrend to stay intact.

​Minor resistance can now be made out around the 19 November low at ¥153.29.

​Minor support sits at Friday's $0.6472 low.
