A strong rally in EURJPY has resulted in a retracement of the recent Jan 11 -13 bear leg, however largely faded ahead of the close. The cross has traded above the 20-day EMA and attention turns to the 50-day EMA, at 142.04. A clear break of this average is required to strengthen a bullish condition and this would highlight a potential reversal. Clearance of resistance at 142.86, the Jan 11 high, would also represent a positive development. The key support and bear trigger is 137.39, Jan 3 low.
