The forecast for the EUR/JPY remains bearish despite the massive sell-off, as inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions, and the delta variant of Covid-19 keep downside pressure on the global economy. While the Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen turned sideways, the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud applies bearish pressures.

Traders should expect a rise in volatility before the sell-off resumes. The CCI moved out of extreme oversold territory, but a reversal is likely, with plenty of downside potential ahead.
