EUR/JPY retreats for the third time in the week, five consecutive days, though it remains above the current week low of 161.24 and trades at 161.82 as Wednesday’s Asian session begins.
The EUR/JPY is neutral to upward biased, subject to further losses after the cross slipped below the Tenkan-Sen at 162.77. Since then, the pair fell toward the 161.00 handle, with sellers eyeing a break beneath the Senkou-Span A at 161.82. If the pair breaches the latter, sellers would have two technical signals to open fresh shorts positions, aimed to drag prices below the Kijun-Sen at 160.99, toward challenging the October 30 swing low at 157.69.
On the other hand, if the EUR/JPY aims and closes at around November 21, high at 162.43, that would put in play a challenge of the Tenkan-Sen at 162.77.
