FxWirePro- EURJPY trade Idea

 EUR/JPY pared most of its gains due to the strong yen. It hit a low of 159.22 at the time o writing and is now trading around 159.46. The intraday outlook is bearish as long as the resistance 163 holds.

Today, the Japanese Yen (JPY) strengthened as investors looked for safe-haven assets due to increasing concerns over U.S. trade policies and geopolitical tensions. The Yen gained popularity as a safe option amid worries about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's recent tariff threats, which raised fears of potential trade wars affecting the global economy. This demand for the Yen is common during times of market uncertainty, causing it to appreciate against other currencies. Overall, the Yen’s rise reflects the investors' desire for safety amid volatility.
