EUR/JPY long-term technical analysis
Eurozone situation and Japan situation has not changed as both central banks maintain the view to hold interest-rate unchanged. The development of trade war caused by the U.S took the worse path and roiled the market. Uncertainties continue mounting in the market and it is hard for traders to stay in risky assets.
Japanese yen gained across the global market as traders flight to safe-haven assets. There will not be any change to the situation soon due to the unforeseeable future. Traders could continue to stick to the short side of EUR/JPY while monitoring major change in central banks decisions.
