Looking at the daily chart, we notice On Sep 3 EUR/JPY ended its downtrend move then corrected higher a month after creating a higher low at 117.07. On Oct 10, the price closed above 50-day average generating a clear bullish signal, then in mid -Oct uptrend move started and led the pair to its highest level in over three months.
However, uptrend bias paused this week after failing in multiple occasions in moving to a higher trading zone. Consequently, the price remained in current trading zone 119.78 – 121.25. Thus, EURJPY could be on the way towards the low end of the zone. Further close below the low end may open the door for more bearishness towards 117.30. Although, the daily and weekly support levels underlined on the chart (zoomed in) should be kept in focus.
That said, any close above the high end of the zone could resume bullish price action towards 122.52. Further close above this level could push EURJPY towards 124.40. Nevertheless, the weekly resistance area and levels marked on the chart should be watched along the way.
