EURJPY faded into the Thursday close, coming under pressure from the dovish interpretation of the ECB meeting. The price action belies a recent bull flag formation and raises the possibility of a near-term test at the Jan19 low at 137.92. More broadly, however, the trend remains higher. The 50-day EMA, at 141.72, 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.
