EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Bullish attempts should face initial hurdle at the 200-day SMA at 130.75

EUR/JPY continues to trade in an erratic fashion so far this week, finding support in the 129.00 neighbourhood and with gains capped around the 200-day SMA, today at 130.75.
A surpass of the 200-day SMA should open the door for a potential visit to the 21-day SMA just above 131.00 the figure.
Further north, the cross needs to advance beyond the resistance line at 132.73 to allow for, initially, a test of September’s peaks beyond the 133.00 handle ahead of October 2017 tops in the mid-134.00s.
However, as long as the resistance line above 132.70 caps the upside, a resumption of the downtrend should not be ruled out.
