EUR/JPY Bearish Outlook Persists: Ifo Weakness Caps Upside, Sell Rallies Targeting 180 Below 183 Resistance

EURJPY  showed a minor pullback after forming a minor bottom around 181.56. Intraday trend is bearish as long as the resistance at 183 holds. The pair posted an intraday high of 182.25 and is now hovering at roughly 182.187.

Germany's Ifo Business Climate Index took a surprise dip to 87.6 in December 2025, which is below the expected 88.2. It also dropped from November's revised 88.0. This suggests businesses are feeling less optimistic, hinting at slower growth for Europe's biggest economy in the near future.
