Scrutinizing the broader outlook, EUR/JPY portrays a blend of bullish and bearish signals. A bullish stance manifests through its standing above the 100-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), revealing a positive trend for the pair in the long run. However, the cross has dipped just below the 20-day SMA today, inferring a potential bearish shift in the short term.
