The primary initiator of the move were French elections over the weekend; as this weekend’s election results ushered-in a return of risk tolerance. And with this return of risk tolerance came another bump-higher in equities, a bump-lower in Gold prices, and another leg of weakness for the Japanese Yen.



The bullish move in EUR/JPY extended on Tuesday to cross-above the pivotal ¥120.00 level; but another level/zone of resistance is showing that may bring pause to the continuation of the bullish move. The level at ¥121.95 is the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the ‘Abe-nomics’ move in EUR/JPY, taking the low from 2012 up to the high in 2014. But very near this level is another key element of resistance, as a down-ward sloping trend-line that’s held the highs in EUR/JPY since mid-December of last year is projected just-above this area.
