EUR/JPY, USD/JPY come off recent highs
EUR/JPY, USD/JPY come off recent highs amid low volume festive season trading.
EUR/JPY drops further still
EUR/JPY trades back at its 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at ¥162.55, having tested and after three consecutive days been rejected by the 200-day SMA at ¥164.65.
The December uptrend line at ¥162.32 may offer support but if fallen through, the mid-October low at ¥164.65 may be revisited. Minor resistance sits at the 19 December high at ¥163.80 and more significant resistance at Monday’s ¥164.90 peak.
USD/JPY keels over
USD/JPY is seen coming off last week’s ¥158.08 six-month high and slips towards the 20 November high at ¥155.88. Were this level not to act as support, the 7 November high at ¥154.71 may do so.
Immediate resistance can be spotted at the ¥156.74 November peak and further resistance at last week’s ¥158.08 high.
