EUR/JPY upwards as the Japanese currency denies to yield to “risk-off” pull
FXstreet.com (Athens) – The EUR/JPY kicked off the Asian trading session on a very sharp uptrend momentum overcoming very easily the 132.00 area, but since the middle European trading session is under pressure.
EUR/JPY moving in the upper trend but still being capped by the 132.00 area
The EUR/JPY started the early Asian trading session on a very aggressive mode, moving above the 132.00 area. While the common currency is still doing well against the Japanese currency – which refuses to yield to any risk aversion pull – it still lacks the momentum to drive the cross steadily upwards. Traders interested in the cross, might find both useful and plausible, that the single currency while performing well amidst the global jitters on a US default on its own, it is also severely wounded by the fact that the ECB will probably take more action on monetary easing in terms of liquidity, rates or both.
