FxWirePro: Bid EUR/JPY 3m bearish neutral RRs and 6m skews to deploy both aggressive and conservative hedging vehicles

Please be noted that the bearish neutral risk reversals are still indicating bearish risks in longer tenors, while positively skewed IVs of the 6m tenor signifies the hedgers’ interests in OTM put strikes. These skews signal underlying spot FX to drop below 129 levels.

To substantiate this standpoint, if you observe the technical chart of this pair, the major trend has been rising higher above 50% fibos from the lows of 109.205 levels but restrained below 61.8%. The technical momentum indicators have also been substantiating overbought pressures in this consolidation phase (refer monthly chart). For more reading, refer our technical section.

Sell 6M EURJPY 25D risk-reversal (buy EUR calls - sell EUR puts), delta-hedged for risk-averse traders.

Buy 3M EUR puts/JPY calls vs. sell 3M 28D EUR puts/KRW calls for directional traders.
