  • Significant selling momentum is revealed in the daily chart as the RSI slips into negative zones while MACD signifies growing negative traction.
  • In line with the daily chart, the hourly indicators show mounting selling pressure.
  • The recent dip beneath the 20-day SMA may suggest a possible short-term bearish realignment.

The EUR/JPY pair is currently trading around 162.85, representing a decline of 0.30% during Monday's session. Bearish cues are intensifying as seen in the increase in selling momentum, which signals a possible shift from the preceding bullish trend.

On the daily chart for EUR/JPY, the most recent Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading fell near negative territory. This situation tends to indicate a growing selling momentum.

Scrutinizing the broader outlook, EUR/JPY portrays a blend of bullish and bearish signals. A bullish stance manifests through its standing above the 100-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), revealing a positive trend for the pair in the long run. However, the cross has dipped just below the 20-day SMA today, inferring a potential bearish shift in the short term.

In summary, although the longer-term trends demonstrate a predominantly bullish stance for EUR/JPY, recent readings from both the daily and hourly charts suggest a possible shift towards a sellers' market which could fuel additional downward movements in case the buyers fail to step in.
