EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Bearish RSI divergence seen on 1H chart

The bearish divergence of the relative strength index (RSI), as seen in the hourly chart below, indicates the EUR/JPY could be in for a pullback, having rallied more than 300 pips since Aug. 15.
A break above 128.28 will invalidate the bearish view and may allow EUR/JPY to extend the recent rally toward 50-day moving average (MA) lined up at 128.90.
