EURJPY maintains a bearish tone following the pullback from its recent high. The move down is for now, considered corrective. However, the cross is testing a key support at 162.23, the 50-day EMA. A break of this level would undermine a bearish theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. For bulls, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on key resistance and the bull trigger at 165.21, the May 13 high.
