EUR/JPY Technical Analysis: Recovery stalled near the 200-day SMA. Initial support is located at the 100-day SMA at 129.41

Today’s bullish attempt in EUR/JPY run out of steam in the mid-130.00s, coincident with the 10-day SMA and close to the critical 200-day SMA, today at 130.82.
In the meantime, the bearish note in the cross remains well and sound as long as the resistance line at 132.83 caps.
The resumption of the downtrend should meet initial support at yesterday’s low at 129.21, seconded by September’s low at 127.86.
