The (RSI) broke below 30 on May 30 and remained in oversold territory, reflecting the strength of the bearish momentum.

EUR/JPY DAILY PRICE CHART (JAN 2, 2019- JUN 3, 2019)
Looking at the daily chart we notice EUR/JPY closed below 121.30 moving the price to a lower multi- day trading range (119.78 – 121.30). This development could see the pair continue its down move with an increased likelihood of seeing the lower end of the range. Daily and weekly supports at 120.50, 120.33 and 120.10 should be monitored.
A close above 121.30 could mean the beginning of a rally towards 122.50. However, weekly and daily resistances at 121.49 and 121.66 need be watched closely. Additionally, a key resistance zone 122.00 – 122.17 remains in focus.

Therefore, any break above 121.30 could rally the price towards the May 31 high, and if the pair breaks and remains above 120.49 then the next significant resistance would be at 121.66 followed by the aforementioned resistance zone at 122.00 – 122.17.
