EUR/JPY retraces to test 138.30 bids
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - EUR/JPY has seen a 40+ pips retracement off trend highs as Asian traders play the 'squaring up' cards ahead of “Thanksgiving” in the United Stated later today.
Beware of Thanksgiving
According to Eamonn Sheridan, Editor at Forexlive:" The coming days of US Thanksgiving holiday are going to be thinner liquidity than normal, and despite having the Europe/UK session still to come there is some position squaring being done in the Tokyo timezone. Yen crosses have had a huge run."
EUR/JPY technical view
Technically, Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXstreet.com, notes: "The hourly chart shows price well above moving averages, while indicators turn south from extreme overbought readings still well above their midlines, with former high around 137.90 now as strong support and probable buying level."
