The EUR/JPY has reversed its losses in the wake of weakness in the Japanese yen and stronger Euro. The pair is trading at 119.500, and it seems to complete the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement until 119.600.
The single currency Euro is gaining strength versus Japanese yen despite worse than expected economic events. The German ZEW Current Situation Index declined to -15.7 in February (-10.0 expected) from -9.5 in January. The research institute said economic development is rather fragile at the moment, and the outlook for export-intensive sectors has deteriorated particularly sharply, citing impacts of the coronavirus outbreak.

The EUR/JPY has formed candle around 119.200, staying in overbought range as we can see the RSI value is staying over 80, implying the chances of a bearish retracement as well. If this case, the EUR/JPY may show a slight bearish reversal below 61.8% Fibo retracement level at 119.600. Today, I will be looking to stay bearish below 119.650 and bullish above 118.900.
