The EUR/JPY is forming a megaphone top formation, usually a bearish formation, which was confirmed once the cross-currency pair broke below the 200-day EMA. The pair’s first support would be the December low of 138.80. A breach of the latter will expose the September 26 daily low of 137.36, followed by the August 24 swing low of 135.51.
As an alternate scenario, if the EUR/JPY climbs back above the 200-day EMA, a rally toward the 20-day EMA at 142.21 is on the cards. Once cleared, it would expose the 100-day EMA at 142.43.
