Buying the Retreat in EUR/JPY as MAs
EUR/JPY used to be on a strong bearish trend, with the sentiment in the forex market remaining negative or uncertain. As a result, safe havens such as the JPY have been in demand, which means that EUR/JPY was declining lower.
The uncertainty continues, but the situation in the market seems a bit lighter/clearer now, hence the bullish reversal in USD/JPY , which has sent this pair higher in the last week. Moving averages have turned into support, so we decided to open a buy forex signal earlier today, after the Eurozone consumer confidence, which improved compared to August. Below is the report from the Eurozone:
