Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/JPY accelerates the downside to fresh multi-week lows in the proximity of the 132.00 yardstick on Thursday.

The cross flirts with the initial contention area around 132.00, where also coincides the 50-day SMA and the short-term line. A loss of this area could spark further losses to the 131.00 region.

In the broader picture, while above the 200-day SMA at 127.56 the broader outlook for the cross should remain constructive.
