​​​EUR/USD stays sidelined 

EUR/USD continues to range trade in low volatility above its mid-April low at $1.1265. While this level holds, last week's $1.1425 high and the 11 April high at $1.1473 may be revisited. 

​Below $1.1265 lies the March-to-May uptrend line at $1.11209 which may offer support.

​EUR/JPY rejected by key resistance 

​Last week EUR/JPY was rejected by its December and January peaks at ¥164.54-to-¥164.90 which represent key resistance.  

A slide back towards the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at ¥161.25, ¥164.18 early and ¥163.75 late April highs may thus be at hand. 

​Only if the ¥164.54-to-¥164.90 region were to be exceeded, would the October high at ¥166.68 be back in focus.

​USD/JPY resumes descent 

USD/JPY is seen coming off its two-week high, made last week at ¥145.92, with it expected to descend to below its ¥139.89 April low. 

A currently unexpected rise above ¥145.92 would push the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at ¥146.90 to the fore.
