FxWirePro: EUR/JPY extends grind below weekly 200-SMA, finds support at 129.28 (weekly 5-SMA)

• EUR/JPY is extending consolidation phase below weekly 200-SMA at 130.60. We see further bullishness only on break above.
   
• Political uncertainty in the US keeps risk-off in markets, supporting the yen on one hand.
   
• While on the other, weak Japanese manufacturing growth and reduction in JGB purchases by the BoJ keep the yen subdued.
   
• Break above weekly 200-SMA raises scope for test of 134.24 (78.6% Fib retrace of 141.05 to 109.205 fall).
   
• Momentum studies are bullish, RSI strong around 68 and MACD supports uptrend.
   
• 20-DMA at 129.08 is strong support, break below could see minor weakness upto 126 levels.
   
• Focus now on PMI numbers form the eurozone, better-than-expected German and EZ PMI numbers could support the euro higher.
   

Support levels - 129.51 (5-DMA), 129.08 (20-DMA), 128.88 (60.8% Fib retrace of 141.05 to 109.20 fall)

Resistance levels - 130, 130.60 (weekly 200-SMA), 132 (Feb 2016 high)

Recommendation: Watch out for break above weekly 200-SMA to go long.
