EURJPY is holding on to the bulk of its latest gains. Recent consolidation appears to be a bull flag formation. If correct, the pattern suggests scope for a break higher near-term. The 50-day EMA, at 141.73, has been pierced. A clear break of this average would strengthen a bullish condition and expose a key resistance at 142.86, the Jan 11 high. For bears, a reversal lower would refocus attention on the bear trigger at 137.39, Jan 3 low.
