EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Bears seeking a downside correction
|- EUR/JPY bears are stepping in on the daily chart to target prior resistance.
- The W formation offers a compelling case for the downside so long as 4-hour resistance holds.
EUR/JPY is ripening for a move to the downside and the following top-down analysis illustrates where traders might be taking their cues from the current market structure and price action:
Daily chart

A test of the prior resistance would have a confluence with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the upside advance and range.

4-hour chart
