EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Rangebound trade expected to persist. Further decline not ruled out

EUR/JPY is extending its consolidative theme so far this year following the ‘flash crash’ on January 3 to sub-119.00 levels.
The cross, however, faces a formidable resistance in the 125.00 area, reinforced by August 2018 low (124.91) and the 21-day SMA at 124.80.
Below this hurdle the cross is expected to extend the sideline theme although the likelihood of a leg lower remains well on the cards with immediate target at 123.31 (low January 15).
