During yesterday’s trading session EUR/JPY traded within the range of 138.43-138.89 and closed at 138.72.

Fundamental view
The surplus on Euro zone’s seasonally adjusted current account probably widened to 19.4 billion EUR in April, according to the median estimate of experts. In March the surplus figure was 18.8 billion EUR. The official data is to be released at 8:00 GMT.
In addition, the preliminary value of the compound index of economic sentiment (ESI) for the Euro zone probably improved to a reading of -6.5 during the current month from -7.1 in May. The European Commission is expected to publish the preliminary data at 14:00 GMT. This survey precedes the final reading by two weeks. A larger than projected improvement in the index would provide support to the single currency.
Technical view
According to Binary Tribune’s daily analysis, in case EUR/JPY manages to breach the first resistance level at 138.93, it will probably continue up to test 139.14. In case the second key resistance is broken, the pair will probably attempt to advance to 139.39.
If EUR/JPY manages to breach the first key support at 138.47, it will probably continue to slide and test 138.22. With this second key support broken, the movement to the downside will probably continue to 138.01.
