EUR/JPY Tumbles Below 182.00 Amid Intervention Fears
The EUR/JPY currency pair has fallen below the 182.00 level due to renewed concerns about Japanese intervention in the foreign exchange market.
Japanese authorities have been warning about speculative moves in the currency market, and officials have signaled a readiness to counter excessive yen weakness.
This has created uncertainty among traders, who are hesitant to push the pair higher when there's a risk of sudden, sharp reversal due to intervention.
The bearish technical outlook is reinforced by key moving averages and momentum oscillators pointing to continued downside pressure.
