Risk-off dominates amid tensions in the Korean peninsula and as US bombing Afghanistan continue to spook markets.
EUR/JPY edges lower from session highs at 116, bias heavily bearish.
The pair finds strong trendline support at 115.70, break below could see drag upto 114.89.
Momentum studies are heavily bearish, but RSI and Stochs are deeply in oversold territory so some caution advised.
Weekly charts are also heavily bearish and so we would use upticks as opportunity to go short.
