FxWirePro- EURJPY Trade Idea

The EUR/JPY showed a minor pullback after forming a minor bottom of 155.80.B. It hit a low of  156.31 and is currently trading around 156.71. The intraday outlook is bearish as long as the resistance 160.25 holds.

The February 2025 German Ifo Business Climate Index stayed relatively unchanged at 85.2, below expectations of 85.9. Manufacturing keeps falling, with the service sector improving. The index indicates sustained economic stagnation and cautious business sentiment, as only 12.6% of companies predict improved conditions. This stability should have a flat effect on the Euro, awaiting dramatic changes in business sentiment to affect investor sentiment. The index indicates sustained nervousness in businesses, with forecasters anticipating that it will track around 85 points in the short term.
