FxWirePro: EUR/JPY extends break below 21-EMA, eyes 38.2% Fib at 126.69, stay short

• EUR/JPY has resumed downside after brief consolidation, extends break below 21-EMA.
   
• The major is trading 0.93% lower on the day, at 127.29 at the time of writing.
   
• The single currency remains dented after dovish ECB taper, while JPY remains bid amid risk-off.
   
• U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Monday to impose a 10 percent tariff on $200 billion of Chinese goods taking the world’s two largest economies to the brink of a full-scale trade war.
   
• We expect further weakness on bearish signals on technical indicators along with the above fundamental factors.
   
• Next major bear target lies at 38.2% Fib at 126.69. Break below to see test of 125.25 (major trendline).
