EUR/JPY bears set their eyes at 139.00 support

FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/JPY dipped from the intraday high of 139.42 to the bespoke support of 139.00; the downside breakthrough is not out of the question as the bearish momentum is strong

Bad week start

EUR/JPY is on offer due to speculative selling triggered by broadband EUR bearish dynamic on Monday. Japanese Nikkei 225 ended morning in the red zone, unable to hold early gains, which added gloom to EUR/JPY picture. Later during the day investors might be interested in French and Italian industrial production data, though these reports are unlikely to become a game-changer for EUR/JPY. Risk sentiments and UST yields might have a greater impact on investors mood. Namely, higher yields on the back of improved US economy recovery expectations due to positive US retail sales data might put a floor under EUR/JPY slide. The nearest support is seen at 139.00, once it is broken, 138.60 will come into play. The upside may be limited by 139.50.
