  • EUR/JPY tallies a three-day winning streak and trades near the 20-day SMA at 156.30.
  • JPY weakened following soft Chinese economic data.
  • Eyes un Japanese Trade Balance data on Thursday and on BoJ’s upcoming decision.
  • The pair currently trades last at 156.093.

    The previous day high was 156.14 while the previous day low was 154.17. The daily 38.2% Fib levels comes at 155.39, expected to provide support. Similarly, the daily 61.8% fib level is at 154.92, expected to provide support.

    At the start of the week, the JPY traded soft against most of its rivals including the USD,EUR and GBP as the Yen lost traction following soft economic data from China. Investors are still modeling their expectations towards the next Bank of Japan (BoJ) decision so Trade Balance data will be closely followed.

    China released mixed June Retail Sales and soft Q2 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures. GDP came in at 0.8% QoQ, as predicted, compared to 2.2% in Q1, while the annualised pace was 6.3%, below the expected 7.1% and 4.5% in Q1. Retail Sales came in at 3.1% YoY versus 3.3% anticipated in June significantly dropping from the previous figure of 12.7% seen May, while Industrial Production came in at 4.4% YoY beating the 2.5% projected and the previous 3.5% in May. In that sense, as China is Japan’s main trading partner, following the release of the data the JPY weakened as a lower Chinese demand could contribute to Japan’s economy to soften.

    That being said, attention is set on the next Bank of Japan (BoJ) decision. The markets speculated recently with a tweak in the bank’s Yield Control Curve (YCC) on the back of rising local wages which favoured the JPY. In addition, investors will keep an eye on any macro forecasts as Bloomberg reported that its likely that the BoJ will update its inflation projections.

    On the other hand, the European’s macroecononmic calendar remains scarce this week as attention turns to next week European Central Bank (ECB) decision where markets are expecting a 25 basis points (bps) hike.

    According to the daily chart, the downwards momentum is fading out and the bulls are taking the command. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) points north standing above its midline, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) prints decreasing red bars signalling that the bulls are gaining traction.
