The EUR/JPY extends its losses for the seventh straight day and hovers just above the top of the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo), at around 158.89, down by 0.36% daily after reaching a daily high of 159.71. The main drivers behind the move have been market sentiment shifting sour, favoring appetite for the safe-haven status of the Japanese Yen (JPY), which appreciated against most G8 FX currencies, except for the Greenback.
EUR/JPY downtrend remains intact even though it bottomed at around 158.50s, which could open the door for some consolidation as bears take a respite. Nevertheless, the crossing of the Tenkan-Sen below the Kijun-Sen, along with the Chikou Span shifting bearish, means the Euro (EUR) is not out of the woods.
Given the backdrop, the EUR/JPY first support is the top of the Kumo at around 158.40/50. A decisive break could drag prices toward the bottom of the Kumo at 157.55, which, once taken out, would cement the pair’s bearish bias. The next demand area would be a support trendline at around 157.00, followed by the October 3 swing low of 154.34.
On the other hand, if buyers reclaim 159.00, that could pave the way for a recovery toward the confluence of the Senkou Span A, and the Tenkan and Kijun-Sen at around 161.13/20.
