EURJPY continues to trade below its recent highs. The trend structure is bullish and key support to watch lies at the 50-day EMA at 170.69. A clear break of the average is required to highlight a stronger short-term bearish threat. Note that moving average studies are in a bull-mode position highlighting a primary uptrend. Key resistance to watch is the Jul 28 high of 173.97. Clearance of this level would confirm a continuation of the bull cycle.

A bear threat in USDJPY remains present and the pair is trading closer to its recent lows. The short-term bear trigger lies at 146.21, the Aug 14 low. Clearance of this level would resume a downtrend that started early August and pave the way for an extension towards 145.40, a Fibonacci retracement. For bulls, a resumption of gains would instead open 149.12, 61.8% of the Aug 1 - 14 bear leg.

A bear threat in JGB futures remains present and the contract is trading  closer to its recent lows. A resumption of weakness would signal scope for an extension towards 136.57, a Fibonacci projection. The first important resistance to watch remains 141.48, the May 2 high. Clearance of this level would be viewed as a bullish signal. Initial short-term resistance is 139.05, the Aug 4 high. A breach would be a positive development for bulls.
