EUR/JPY suffered a heavy selloff starting Thursday last week when ECB officials hinted that a rate cut is in the cards. EUR/JPY dropped from the 135.50 area by close to 300 pips before making a quick bounce at the start of this trading week.

Sentiment remains very bearish for this pair but a retracement might take place before sellers push the pair lower. If that’s the case, EUR/JPY could pull back to the 38.2% Fib, which is in line with a former support level. It is also an area of interest, which means it could act as resistance from now on.

Stochastic is pointing down, suggesting that selling pressure is still strong. Shorting at 133.60 with a stop above the 134.00 mark and a target of new lows could make a good return on risk for a swing trade.
