EUR/JPY Price Analysis: Recovery targets the 122.00 area

EUR/JPY is reversing the recent pessimism and regains poise on Monday.
The next stop on the upside emerges at last week’s peaks around 122.00.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

Following two consecutive daily pullbacks, EUR/JPY has managed to reclaim buying interest and advance beyond the 121.00 yardstick at the beginning of the week.

If the buying interest picks up pace and manages to clear the 122.00 area, then the yearly tops in the 124.40/45 band should emerge on the horizon.

As long as the 200-day SMA near 119.72 holds the downside, the outlook on the cross is seen as constructive. This contention area is also reinforced by June’s lows in the 119.30 region.

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
