Talking Points:

- EURJPY loss of ¥138.89 points to move to 137.63.

- USDJPY holding up at 61.8% Fibonacci extension, daily 21-EMA.

- See the June forex seasonality report.

The JPY-crosses are the big movers overnight after some two-faced comments by the BoJ's Kuroda, which suggested that policymakers were keeping an eye on the weakening currency, yet at the same time saw no indication of a weak Yen hurting Japan. In either case, the market has unwound short-term short Yen positions fairly quickly, with both EURJPY and USDJPY falling back to important mean reverting levels established on medium-term timeframes.

See the above video for technical considerations in EURUSD, EURAUD, EURJPY, and USDJPY.
