Use the ECB meet to sell EURJPY rallies
Trade set up – Our preference is to sell rallies in EURJPY, placing a limit order at 128.30. With implied volatility spiking, predominantly in global equities, the JPY has strengthened, and we believe it will continue to do so, as traders flock to the guru of all safe haven currencies. Should the trade be filled, we would target 126.75, placing stops set at 128.75 (20-SMA dynamic resistance can be used too).
Why we like it - With the JPY strengthening against all major currency pairs and the VIX index spiking to the highest close since February, we see risk appetite falling, which should result in further downside in EURJPY. Global equities have continued their decline, and it seems support levels mean very little here, and this is having the clear knock-on effect in FX, increasing uncertainty and moving traders to JPY.
Tactically, there are risks of a small upside tick in the EUR with the ECB monetary policy statement coming later today, but we don't see Draghi changing his trajectory when it comes to QE and policy. With that in mind, any rallies are a selling opportunity as we ride the trend and leverage to elevated volatility.
