EUR/JPY levels

Analysts at Commerzbank explained: "Provided that the uptrend at 131.14 contains the downside, the longer term up move will remain intact. Above 134.32/58 would target the 1979-2017 resistance line at 139.12. Intraday dips will find some support offered by the 131.90 end of August high. A move below the 55 day moving average is needed to alleviate upside pressure and retarget the 127.57 August low."
