FxWirePro: EUR/JPY Edges Lower from Session Highs at 114.74, Intarday Bias Neutral

• EUR/JPY has edged lower from session highs at 114.74, but is holding above 5-DMA at 113.87. 
• Poor Chinese data and deteriorating investors’ sentiment likely to keep demand for the Yen intact. 
• Data released earlier showed China Caixin Manufacturing PMI stood at 48.6 vs. 49.2 expected and 49.2 last. 
• Data from Japan were better than expected. Japan Nikkei manufacturing PMI climbed from previous 47.8 to 48.1 in June. 
• Japan May CPI came in at -0.4 % y/y versus -0.5% expected, while the BOJ Q2 Tankan Large Manufacturing Index: came in stronger at 6 versus 4 expected. 
• Our previous call (http://www.econotimes.com/FxWirePro-EUR-JPY-struggles-at-114-handle-bias-lower-229620) has hit TP1&2. 
• The pair hit lows of 113.33 on Thursday before recovering to close in the green at 114.57.  
• We see scope for downside in the pair. Break below 5-DMA at 113.87 could see downside upto 111.50. 
• On the flipside, break above 114.80 finds next resistance at 115 and then 115.67 (10-DMA). 
• Technical indicators are not conclusive, intraday bias is neutral, no trade advised.
