EUR/JPY is glued to 139.00 pivot

FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/JPY has opened at 139.00, but retreated to 138.96. The trading activity is low.

Depression to mention

EUR/JPY has frozen to 139.00 level. The cross is unwilling to move too far away from this pivot as both EUR and JPY investors cannot decide what to do next. On the intraday basis, from technical factors, keep your eyes peeled for European macroeconomic reports. German import prices and unemployment data may trigger some volatility as markets are hungry for catalysts. The bulls need a clear break above yesterday’s high at 139.36 to get the control over the situation, while the bears might try to push the cross below 138.80 support.
