EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Bear MA crossover favors downside break of a rising channel

The EUR/JPY is better bid at 128.78, having witnessed a falling channel breakout on the hourly chart yesterday. The cross has also charted a rising channel on the hourly chart.
Further gains may not materialize, as the daily moving averages are biased toward bears. For instance, the 5- and 10-day SMAs have produced bearish crossover. Meanwhile, the hourly chart is reporting a bearish crossover between the 10- and 200-hour SMAs.
The recent low of 127.50 could be put to test if the rising channel seen in the hourly chart is breached to the downside.
