In terms of trend indicators, we can see that although down today, it's worth noting that in earlier trading EUR/JPY peaked above the 129 3 day Simple Moving Average, usually an indication that a positive move might be approaching. Asset volatility analysis shows that a slight indication of recovery comes from looking at the Bollinger bands: the lower band is at 128.56, a low enough level to (usually) suggest that Euro/Yen is trading below its value. As the day reaches an end a chart visual study suggests Euro/Yen's immediate support is around 128.88, its resistance level is at 131.34. In contrast, the CCI indicator is below -100. When the CCI (Commodity Channel Index) is at this level it means the price is below the average price as measured by the indicator, indicating a possible start of a new downtrend.

Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape – although indicators are mixed and some are pointing in different directions it seems Euro/Yen might reverse course and start pointing upward in the short term.
