EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Potential losses ahead after another rejection at 133.00

  • EUR/JPY turned lower after the FOMC meeting, weakened mainly by a stronger Japanese yen.
  • The pair rose to test monthly highs post-FOMC but failed to break and again was rejected from 133.00. Near the end of the US session, printed fresh daily lows under 132.50.
  • Short-term moving averages are turning south and the upside shows exhaustion so a bearish correction seems likely. Immediate support is seen at 132.30, followed by the weekly low at 131.85/90.
  • If the euro bounces and rises back above 132.85, another test of 133.00/10 could be seen. A consolidation on top of 133.10 is needed to open doors to more gains.
